I'm now a freshman music major in college. Music major? How's that going? I'm a senior this year, so I'd like to know what it's like, what you get to do, how hard the music is, and what you can do after you graduate? That's a lot to ask, but it's really exciting for me! Tell me if you have time. 3nodding

I've played the saxophone for five years now. I started with the Alto for two years, then switched to a Tenor in seventh grade. I'm now in tenth grade, and I've played the tenor ever since.
I'm in Jazz band, Pep Band, Music listening, the MBDA (Minnesota Band Director's Association. I'm a regular when it comes to visiting honor bands.), Winter Pep Band, Spring Jazz, Multiple ensemble competitions, and I'm in the higher up band in our school called the Wind Symphony.

Oh yes, I also have a question.
When I play a D (Middle of the scale D, not the highest D.), that metal bar on top that allows you to play it, on the tube extending from the mouthpiece, y'know? It sticks up, and opens the hole on that tube, causing my D to squeak up to a High A.
Do you have any solutions to this? I've looked all over. I think it's sticking, but I don't know where.....?

I think it's sticking, but I don't know where.....? wow : you've been playing for five years...and are apparently at least a decent musician...and you don't know that it's called an octave key...or a neck...? hm...well i guess now you do. anyway, there are TWO octave key's on the modern sax. each octave key will automatically be put to use when you're in the right range for it(after you hit the actual key that triggers it). maybe your second octave key, the one that ISN'T attached to the neck, isn't connected to your trigger key. might want to check that out.

Oh, well that's helpful, too. xd My sister just went into college, so we don't have money for me to spend on music stuff, other than band fees.
o.o lol...my older sister and both my older brothers are going to college this year...but i guess it helps that it's the community college and they all have butt loads of scholarships xD

XD i wasn't insulting your stupidity. i think your stupidity is perfectly reflective of the information you've shown me razz i was insulting your intelligence. but seriously, it might have done you a little good to have actually researched before asking the question. it probably would have helped your intellectual appearance a little bit.

Private college, expensive even with her $9000 scholarship. xd I'd be able to afford so much more music supplies if she had chosen the cheaper school... xd Buuut I'll be able to get my saxophone pretty and nice things after I get a job...next year.
