Flute Carrying

What musical instrument should learn now?

I play the piano for over ten years, so I can read music very well and have a good basis in theory. Although the piano makes beautiful music, I never really enjoyed it. Unable to connect to a piano, which is the large wooden! You can not carry themselves and have to play other instruments of the people. I have small hands and fingers, so sometimes up or down notes because I can not leave to them. Therefore, my hands sore afterwards. My mother plays it, so I'm playing. I want to take a second instrument. I have a theory, so I'm not a beginner raw. What instrument do you think is good to take? I'm small, small hands and therefore somewhat "small" and fun. My options are: / violin, viola, cello (not really "small" but I love), the sound, clarinet, flute .... What else? Preferably someone with knowledge the instrument was designed to answer whether all welcome.

Nice to see you show some interest in the cello. Cello is not the instrument of difficult people with small hands: it is actually easier, in my opinion (I am), a cellist, and weak hands. I can not strech eighth on the piano. You can (a small cello, most people choose a small hands 7 / 8 cello), if the distance is too great. I have no problem with it. Cello is a fabulous insurment. It has the narrow scope of the human voice, ranging from C2 (2 octaves below middle C) C7 somewhere is the highest rating (in one repotoire B6 is found in the recent actions of Kodaly's Sonata), which offers a total of 5 or more octaves. As you said, he likes the sound. The tone is very nice (once you get Beginning the final phase), rich and deep. It can also emulate a lot of other instruments, like the wind) (with harmonics,) French horn (listening to the 5th Symphony Tchaikovky among others. The cello is also a great variety of genres. The cello is used, made of heavy metal (Apocalyptia, a quartet rock) of Bach, with the famous Cello Suites of Bach, and everything in between. If you are concerned about the lack of repotoire without fear. We Brahms, Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Shostakovich and other famous composers have written works for the cello. The transition from the piano is surprisingly simple. It is not difficult to see how the cello in theory. Basic background in theory is really all you need to know how to create the fingerboard. Basic knowledge of intervals and an ear for intonation is that what is needed. As I said, cello is a great tool. Small enough to play passages of virtuosity, but sufficiently large to make a beautiful sound to obtain. Traveling is a light load (I had friends who had their sting was confiscated at the security checkpoint), how often you need to buy a seat for the cello as porters often mistreated. Good luck choosing a Insturments. If you have any questions on cello, I hope that cleared it for you. If you choose the cello, the best of luck to you.

Should I play the saxophone or the flute in the school band?

These instruments are AMAZING! I like both, but obviously, only can choose one that I need one thats lighter to carry (flute) and easy to play (flute), fun to play (sax) Can I play jazz (sax)

Instead, dear. I wish to object to some of his statements. The flute and saxophone are both easy to play sax (which I've heard is one of the easiest to learn) without But to play well requires much skill and practice. I play the flute, so you probably will be partial to the flute, but I'll try to see both sides of the argument. The flute tons of fun to play, especially when you're really good. Learn to play rattles little pleasure in music, trills, runs and turns XVI. And while The recorder may not be as popular as a jazz instrument like the saxophone, he can play jazz! Anyway, I think the process of choosing an instrument is similar to the election a Harry Potter wand. "The wand chooses the wizard, Mr. Potter." That's I was on the flute. We had auditions for our instruments the summer before fifth grade, when we put the headjoint / Links in our mouth and said, "Blow". My hearing lasted all of thirty seconds, since the flute was the only one I tried. The lady said she was playing the flute. "I've never regretted it. But I think that goes with the instrument that fits your personality.:) You get an easier time in music.
