[quote=Anonymous]I was a piano player and here are the ways it worked out for me: -I could read bass cleff so I was able to learn to play the bass clarinet. Tubas and baritone saxes are along the same lines. -I played the pit instruments in marching band like xylophone because they are structured like a piano. -In Jazz band, I played the piano in the rhythm section. Or, if there was no electric bassist that semester, played the string bass/electric bass lines on a vibraphone or keyboard. -Became a drum major because I could look at a score and understand the treble cleff, bass cleff, and percussion rhythm scores. -Sang 1st alto in chorus because I could read the score and use the piano to practice my harmonies. Those with no music reading experience will rely on their ear only. -Often did accompianments on flute when a small ensemble was needed for a classical choral work. Again, being able to read a score and how my part fit into the choral part was key. [/quote]
