Which intstrument might be most interesting/good for me to learn? (i already play a few)?

Question

Well, yes, I love instrumental music and want to be versatile in what I can play. I don't plan on being a music major once I get into college, however.

I'm 16, just finished my sophomore year of high school. I've played the clarinet for six years... and I play it well, and am eagerly improving and learning. Played the bass clarinet a little. Played the alto sax for 2 years and I'm good enough but still need much work..and I'm teaching myself the flute..

If I could get a hold of an oboe, do you think that'd be good to learn to play well? Or the trumpet? or what?

Answer 1

Oboe is really difficult.  Unlike clarinet or flute you sound like a diseased duck for quite awhile, I should know- I've played for 8 years :)  I marched trumpet in high school after playing flute, clarinet, and oboe, and I found it challenging but do-able.  I really enjoyed the fact that you could play really loudly if you wanted to.  The buzzing took some time to get used to, but I found it a nice change from the woodwind family.  Whatever you choose, I'm sure it'll be fun, you seem to be wonderfully musically inclined already!

Answer 2
