Thanks oboeidaho. My daughter really does like pit work, but as a 9th grader she hasn't done many yet and I don't think she is in a position to decide exactly what she wants to do when she's older. She does blow into my flute occasionally (the flute is the "only" instrument I play!) just to work on the embouchure a bit, and gets a nice sound on the piccolo, but I'm not sure that adding more instruments right now, as she is inclined to do, is a great idea. Her private teachers tell her to study one of them in college, and perhaps get a MM in multiple woodwinds. It's hard enough right now for her to fit in her practice time with sax, oboe, bassoon and all the homework!
I do like that she wants to try all books in the pit orchestras, and playing Reed 5 would allow her to try out playing the bass parts. The school just bought a new bass clarinet she can use, so I wouldn't have to pay for that.
She's always been enthralled with the idea of playing the baritone sax. This year she will have the opportunity to be the baritone sax player in a jazz band (private) that she just auditioned into. I'm waiting to see if, over time, she really will prefer the bass line to the alto. My personal opnion is that she really likes the lead and will prefer being the lead alto, but I'll let her figure that out for herself.
