Introduction adderley1980 - new to alto sax. Nottingham

[Adderley1980]

Hey guys and gals.
I'm new to the alto sax , say 1 month now. Self teaching so far by watching some tuts on you tube and trying to pefect my embrochure. I've been trying to copy some riffs (just to get the hang of the scales) from tracks I've listened to, managed to copy dire straits"latest trick" by Michael brecker and got the hang of it. Really like bop/jazz, Charlie Parker , cannonball adderley (hence the tag), Eddie Harris and more.
Looking for some tuition now by struggling in my area of Nottingham. Cafe seems a nice place to be.

Welcome to the cafe, a tutor is always a good idea if only to set you on the right track but many manage without 🙂

There are always workshops around the country to attend

Have fun

Hello and welcome to the cafe. You could try asking Windblowers on Derby Road if they have a list of tutors. Best of luck

Welcome to the cafe. Having a tutor helps a lot. You could try searching on musicteachers.co.uk.
Music Teachers UK | Find a Music Teacher | Music Lessons - MusicTeachers.co.uk
I think sax.co.uk also has a list of teachers.
