Terri-
I'll bring my bass (Sam offered to bring a small amp). If you are
bringing your flute, I'll also bring a recorder or two - maybe we can do
some duets.
E.
Ps. The recorders are in C and F, but self-transposing.

Tim,
That's kinda what i was asking.. Can those who wish to play
in the Jam, transpose or use Treble or Bass clef music?
So, the question is: what is needed for those who can't do
just normal G clef, or Treble clef and F clef or Bass clef
written music?
My Dad and Bruce are willing to do the transposing, but
we need to know now... can't wait until December gets
here to have time to do this.
And I'm not familiar with enough instruments to know what
the tuning would be for some of the instruments you would
find in an orchestra, for example. Saxaphone - i know many
saxophones have different tunings and I believe you
read from differently written music, but I"m not sure
about those. I don't play or teach the sax.
Bruce does... so he would know...
Sorry to hear, Tim, that you can't make it to this first Jam.
Maybe the next one will be more on a date you can attend.
Enjoy your trip and thanks for the input.
More input is apprecaited.
Terri

I think you need to consider more than just treble or bass clef
(G clef and F clef were archaic terms when I was in school in 1970...
:-D). The real question is one of transposition -
If you're just looking at C instruments - Piano, normally tuned
guitar and bass, Flute, Xylophone, or megaphone (voice), you'll need
more that the simple song-book sheet music. Alto Sax is Eb, Tenor Sax,
Clarinet, Trumpet are all Bb... Unless Sam can sight-transpose or has a
C Piccolo Trumpet, his music will need to be transposed for a Bb
instrument.
Since music is what I did before I became an engineer, I thought
I'd at least remind you of that little issue :-). Sorry I can't be
there, but It's still not possible to be on 2 continents (let alone 2
cities) at the same time.
