I did a Jazz band in a camp that has a bunch of different classes. It was amazing. We got recordings of what we played.

I play Alto, soprano, tenor and Bari. But that's only because they are the same fingerings. 4laugh I once marched with the Bari..... Once. xd

Looking at the poll at the top of the page, I am disappointed. Can I recommend that everyone use Vandoren reeds for classical or jazz style playing? Please? My experience is that Rico reeds are high quality... If you're building a bonfire, that is wink

I DESPISE rico reeds. I have a box of old ones...I should burn them. It would look cool.
And I love playing jazz, but I love playing all music...so I can never decide. xd

Hi everyone.
I just rented an Alto Sax today and haven't started lessons yet. Any advice? I've played Bb Clarinet for around a year, and Flute for about 5 months.

HUZZAH!
Naiyuga: Some of the fingerings on the saxophone are similar to flute and clarinet. 3nodding Other advice...I can't think of anything. xd Just get a good neckstrap. When you start on a bad one, it hurts a lot. D:

When you start on a bad one, it hurts a lot. D:Huzzah!!! I also recomend starting on a lower number of reed. I started on #1 then slowly worked my way up to a #4. If you start on a #4, you might not get a good vibration. (lol) I alos recommend a good neckstrap, try to get one with padding as they dont hurt as much. Good luck, it's not as hard as it seems. biggrin
