I started playing the tenor about ten months ago. I decided I wanted to be in jazz band and went to my band director, and she told me to learn tenor, since one of the tenor players was a senior and graduating at the end of the year. I started on flute, though. There's three tenors in our band - me, a guy friend of mine who I kinda like, and some random sophomore guy I don't know. Our wind ensemble sax section's fairly big this year - there's four altos, two tenors, and a bari. We get our own row! xd It's cool!

Flute and sax are easy to switch between because the fingerings are essentially the same.

It's great.

I prety much can say, I can play All of them. I bet Everyone (if they Try) can play every single one ( from High soprano to the Low Contrabass)

That pic rocks biggrin . Yea I can play alittle flute as well Nappy, I was VERY surpirsed how much they were alike.

I am thinking about getting a better tenor sax (I want to practice crying even if my band days are over) but I am poor, what is a good Sax at a good price. I don't know exactly how much I am willing to spend.

Well...it would be a lot easier to know your price limits.
But, sadly, I only know about altos. No tenors. sad

Yeah, but once you get out of the alto-tenor-bari range, it's much harder to play in tune.

I've already found that out with my soprano. u.u;

My college has to have a decent music program.
I want to major in computer engineering, but I'd like to minor in music/saxophone as well. <3
