He is the King!

I've had loads of teachers.... Thanks to Scott it all means something.... For real.... Been playing for thirty years... Never been so excited.... Loving it...!!!

That's the secret!

Thank you Felix! Glad to hear you are enjoying the Sax School

Thank you so much! And I really appreciate your support!!

Glad it helped! Here are a couple strategies for playing when nervous. 1. Change your mindset - The audience is lucky they get to hear your play! You're excited to get to perform for them. You've worked hard, and now you get to share all of your hard work. This next one is going to sound a little crazy, but it's very helpful - practice playing under stress - go for a short run and then immediately pick up your sax and start playing. You'll be out of breath and a little jittery. It won't feel good at all, but this will prepare you for how you might feel when you are nervous. So run around the house or up and down the stairs a few times until you are just a little out of breath, then pick up your sax and play your recital piece. I know this sounds crazy, but it will let your mind & body know what it's like to perform under stress. So when the recital comes, if you feel a little nervous, it won't throw you off too bad.

Yeah, this is simple one to put into practice! Thanks

That's awesome! Congrats Rob!

Hey, I teach this concept in just about every song lesson in my Sax School - especially in the Early Intermediate courses. I also break down jazz articulations so you know exactly how to play the unwritten rules of articulation.

😀😀😀

Hey Paul! You're not alone in that attitude. You've put in a lot of work, play it like you and mean it, and you're having fun!!

You're welcome!

Glad you enjoyed it!!

Thanks!!

You're welcome!

Thanks!

Oi Paulo, saxofone baritono aqui. (Santa Catarina)

Hey! Yes, that's the one I play. I love it!! It's my favorite tenor that I've ever played. If I had it to buy again, I probably would not buy the unlacquered version of it. I think it looks cool, and it plays great, but it takes a lot more maintenance because of the no protection. Mainly the blue corrosion. It comes off with no problem, but it's something I don't have to think about with the dark lacquer saxes.

That is one of my favorite Gerald Albright tracks, and version of Georgia, and yeah, that's a tough one! Good luck

..make a circle with your thumb and index finger... Now blow air threw them... Hold them out further and blow through them again... (also harmonics... Bottom be... Fifth. Octave. Upper third)
