I’ve wanted to learn sax for ten years and I just started on a brand new alto.
Still looking for a teacher but I may go self-teaching for a while.

i play clarinet which is usually a great instrument to play to work up to the saxophone, so i hope to play the sax in a few years :).

Here's a guy in China practicing alone in an alley 2 years ago

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. :)
