Flute*it can be very challenging to play the flute if you have a teardrop upper lip, you may want to choose a different instrument if you have one.
Alto Saxophone Trombone |
Clarinet Trumpet*The trumpet is not easier just because it only has 3 keys, it infact can be harder
Percussion*If you choose percussion, you will also need a 2nd choice. Percussion students must be highly motivated, independent and trustworthy students. When you meet with the band directors we will discuss together if this is the right choice for you.
