Re: E flat alto clarinet help?

D S and N B say it very well. I've played most of the clar family [mainly your 3] for years and, IMHO, new students should be started on the Bb Soprano, NOT on the more difficult [in many ways] bass and alto. If you must provide playable music for alto cl, since, as I presume, you must stay in the cl's chalemeau/throat-tone register, low E up to mid-staff Bb, lowering an A S part an octave by computer program transposition would be my suggestion. Many churches have this capability, possibly music schools, libraries, skilled musicians/computer knowledgable individuals would also. Much luck, learning cl is not simple, Don

Thanx, Mark, Don
