Re: Practice your clarinet and lose weight

Well I often find myself feeling warm and a bit sweaty after a hard practice session, so I believe the article. Am surprised to learn that trombone consumes a lot more energy than trumpet, though. I guess it has to do with the greater quality of air and the amount of slide motion the right arm must use, since it can't possibly be embouchure. (I wonder if a soprano or alto trombone would burn more calories than the tenor?)

Another interesting metabolism comparison would be clarinet vs saxophone. The sax requires more air (unless it's soprano) but the embouchure doesn't seem quite as strenuous. And of course I bet the oboe burns more calories than any other soprano woodwind! Recorders probably burn the least, which is unfortunate since that's another instrument I play...
