Re: Why start low?

I first started on the clarinet at school in England in around 1953. The school had two woodwind teachers, and I've always thought that I was lucky with the one I was assigned to. The teacher I had didn't make an issue out of crossing the break and introduced it at about the third lesson. He didn't make it out to be especially difficult, it was just a part of learning our way around the instrument. Consequently all his students progressed quite quickly and were soon playing over the break without any difficulty. The other teacher presented crossing the break as something of an obstacle to be overcome, and his students progressed more slowly.
