I took lessons for 5 years and even played in a jazz band. The sax is just so cool.

When I was in grade six I got my Christmas wish. My Dad gave me a Saxophone! So I went to lessons, played in band and Jazz classes. I even played in England. But eventually stopped in high school and its been in my closet ever since. But like Clinton, and that Chinese guy in that alleyway, I’ll pull it out every now and then, but I’m far from performance ready. .

I’ve been playing the saxophone (alto primarily, but I’ve played soprano, tenor, and bari) for nearly fourteen years now and I couldn’t be more in love. I haven’t had much time to play since I’ve been in grad school, but I’m looking for some kind of combo to serve me well when I’ve escaped.
An entirely “worth it” goal, to be sure. :)
My main instrument all through school was the (hateful) clarinet. I picked up the saxophone right before my senior year of high school, because I wanted to be in jazz band with my friends.
I haven’t played since then, but I miss it. My clarinet teacher always said that my embochure was better suited for sax than clarinet. And way back in fourth grade, when I started band, my mom tried to get me to choose the sax over the clarinet. Why didn’t I listen?
But anyway. The only thing holding me back right now is the fact that I don’t own a saxophone. Am tempted to pick up a used one off of eBay (it’s not like I need a professional grade instrument) but I’m scared of getting burned and I don’t know enough about manufacturers to know which to look for.

I play the flute and my cousin used to play sax, so pretty much all I had to do was learn the fingering. I didn’t play her sax regularly, nor did I become great at it, but I’d say I got to be good enough and I’m pretty proud of myself for how far I got!
