@@thelewis2898 Oh my yes. I didn't realize how loud it would be. I just blew on the mouth piece alone and send my cats scrambling! LOL. Well, I don't feel too bad because some of my neighbors regularly serenade us with their BOOM cars at 10:30pm every night and nobody complains about that. But I hope my good neighbor next door(with whom I share a common wall : duplex) doesn't object to the random goose honking! I'm trying to keep it a secret until I can at least play a tiny bit but that may not be possible! I hope I can have fun with it like you suggest. BTW: I didn't know you could rent-a-sax! I just bought one from Walmart.

Hi Jeremy. I am an adult male 50+ years old who had never played a musical instrument or tried to learn anyrhing musical. 2 years ago I purchased your Beginner Series and started my journey. I am now fairly competent in reading sheet music. I have played in church a few times and played at my father's funeral last month. It's all thanks to your series (and exactly 5 sessions with a teacher to help prepare for 2 performances). Thanks Jeremy, thanks Sax Tuition. You have helped make my dream of playing the saxophone come true. I have a long way to go, but I have a sound (pardon the pun) foundation to build on. I highly recommend Sax Tuition Beginner Series.

WOW!! Your comment was so moving. That had to take so much heart to play for your father’s services. Please accept my condolences for such a profound loss. That was truly a memorable gift you gave to yourself and to him being able to play an instrument that has meant so much to you over the years. My lifelong dream has been to learn the saxophone. I am currently looking around for one myself. I wish you much success and continued reward in playing an incredible instrument. You’ve really encouraged me. Thank you for that. I’m so glad I found this channel. What a blessing. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

Mine is super old and we dig yours. **also can you maybe link directly to "theory basics", that pulls up everything on a google search lol... Cheers :D

Took a huge dive and ordered a sax (Albeit, a very cheap one relatively.) as I've wanted to play for 22 years. I've played the clarinet for all that time, I was in the school band from years 3-11, so hopefully I can at the very least get a sound out of it pretty quickly! The fingering looks a bit less complicated than clarinet fingering too. They always told me it was easier to go from clarinet to sax than the other way around, so, I'm gonna put that to the test! 😅

I really wanted to play saxophone when I went into band in 6th grade, but they gave me a flute, which wasn't even an instrument I wanted to play. Ended up quitting band after 2 years and picked up the guitar and taught myself. Now as an adult, I find myself daydreaming about saxophones after all these years on my musical journey. Not sure why I'm writing this, but thanks for these tutorials.
