Equivalencies

As a musician who plays the clarinet, the idea of relating a concept on one instrument to another is vital; we don't want to live in a bubble. Additionally, considering these equivalencies can help bolster our understanding of each individually.

I give the source where I first learned this concept -- not the original source.
