And one day, I'm going to learn how to play the saxophone.

A few weeks! Good progress. Keep going and please repost in another ferw weeks. You are brtaver than me as I wouldn't have the courage to post.

ALARM! ALARM!

You are progressing very well, BUT there are problems that need to be fixed immediately, before you catch bad habits:
The 6th note you play is a mid C#
It seems like you finger it like a low C# with the octave key (or overblown)

the correct fingering is ooo|ooo. Nothing pressed at all

My essential advice will cost you 75 coolpoints. An undisclosed donation to Pete's charity would be appreciated.

Thanks, Aldevis, I've been experimenting with the different fingerings and the sounds that I was looking for. I go back and forth between the low C# with octave key and the all open C#, but I end up fumbling for the next note with my fingers off the keys.

...I'm also still working on lifting my fingers "just enough" so that I don't have that issue. I'll work harder on it!

I may need a short-term coolpoint loan, but I'm good for it!

She said yes over 23 years ago and it has been wonderful. Thankfully she tolerates my newfound obsession with the tenor sax!

Welcome. I'm new here myself.

Since coolpoints are worthless, you don't need a loan. You can simply give them away, even if you don't know you have them.
