The difficulty of learning to play an electronic wind instrument (EWI) compared to a traditional wind instrument can vary depending on several factors.
For beginners, an EWI might initially seem somewhat easier to produce sounds on. Since you don't have to worry as much about developing a precise embouchure (the way you shape your lips and mouth to play) and controlling the airflow in the same way as a traditional instrument, it can be quicker to get started making basic sounds.
However, mastering an EWI to a high level of proficiency can still present significant challenges. Understanding the various controls, settings, and the digital interface can take time and practice. Achieving nuanced expression, dynamics, and a wide range of musical techniques might not be straightforward.
Traditional wind instruments, on the other hand, often have a steeper initial learning curve. The physical demands of developing the correct embouchure, breathing technique, and finger coordination can be quite challenging. But once these foundational skills are established, progress in achieving musical expression and mastering different styles can become more intuitive.
For example, a beginner might find it easier to play a simple melody on an EWI within a short time. But to play with the same level of expressiveness and technical finesse as a skilled traditional wind instrument player, such as a master saxophonist or flutist, would require dedicated practice and understanding of the instrument's capabilities.
In the end, both EWIs and traditional wind instruments require commitment, practice, and a passion for learning to become proficient. The perceived difficulty also depends on an individual's background, musical aptitude, and the specific goals they have for their playing.
