 English Horn and Clarinet Playing? Also EVITA and EH?
Author: Clarinetgirl06

Hi! I've always been interested in playing the English Horn, but I know it's just a tenor oboe. I love the sound of the instrument and I have a few questions:

1. Would it effect my clarinet playing for the worse?
2. What kind of reeds does it use?
3. What's a good book to learn the English Horn with? A beginner book that is.

My school has an English Horn and one girl who tried it that is in my grade noted to me that it wasn't a good one. I don't know if it's actually bad, or if she was having a hard time playing it (she plays the clarinet and has learned the oboe).

I talked to my orchestra teacher about playing English horn on a few pieces and he mentioned to me that our musical EVITA has some English Horn parts. John J. Moses, do you have anything to comment on this part? That would be appreciated! My orchestra teacher also said that since I'm interested in the English Horn, he'll look for some contest pieces with a English Horn part in it.

I've played clarinet for 8 years and can also play the Eb clarinet, Bass clarinet, tenor sax, and piano.

Thanks for all your help!

Carrie
