Is the woodwind instrument, like a flute and clarinet, suitable for a tall and big guy like me?
A: you could try a clarinet or a flute...if not you could also try a c flat clarinet
What age should children start to learn brass/woodwind instruments?
When has it become too young to start to learn how to play a brass or woodwind instrument?
A: due to the wind power you need for brass - it would be easier for woodwind to start earlier...
personally i would go for violin/piano/flute something like that :p
trumpet and clarinet are so over done :p ( i am so ready to take thumbs down from trumpet and clarinet players - bring it on! )
really, i guess you are asking because they want to play or you want to get them started..... what do they want to learn?
piano is...
Is a flute a good woodwind instrument to play?
I want to play a instrument this year and future years to come. I have taken piano lessons but I didn't fully enjoy it. I narrowed my search down to woodwinds and think i might want to play the flute. The oboe is nice too, but im not sure if those are the best to play. I am open to other suggestions. Could you help me find a woodwind instrument that i like?
A: a flute IS a woodwind, and I have played it for years. It is very hard to become a really good flute player without lots of practice. One good thing is that once you know the flute you can also play the piccolo and the oboe has all the same fingerings.
Oboe is a little harder to play because it is a double reed instrument. If you want to play the oboe i suggest starting with clarinet and then moving to oboe.
I hope I helped.

If a child has the predisposition to be able to play music, then there really shouldn't be much of a difference in difficulty based on size (except for, perhaps, with a tuba). Often, though, they will start a child out on a clarinet. That can be used as a basis for other instruments, including the saxaphone, if she wants to learn others.
A flute is fairly easy to play once you learn how to blow. Clarinets sound pretty bad when just starting.
Bassoons are too big and difficult for a child to hold.
Oboes squak until you learn how to play.
I think flute would be the easiest for her to play.

An Ocorina would be good.. they're rather simple and teach the basics of finger placement. And good for small hands.
clarinet?
For a petite girl, I'd recommend flute, but it is NOT easy. Flute is actually considered on of the hardest instruments along with violin. Pitching is a big problem. 75% flutes are off pitch. Flute takes a lot, but its a wonderful instrument. Flautist for many years.
