All about the clarinet

Clarinet – Clarinets are the violins of the band.  In other words, they are very important, and we need a lot of them.  Very few limitations on who can play the clarinet.  Farmington JH does not start any beginning saxophone players.  Any student who wishes to be considered to play the saxophone must start on the clarinet.  An audition on clarinet will happen in the second semester of the school year to choose who plays the saxophone. 

Currently we have 2 jazz bands at FJH. This means more opportunities for students on saxophone! Many of our clarinet players and Bass clarinet players double on a saxophone in jazz band.
