Hi all,
My name is Audrey and I'm from Ireland. I've recently taken up playing alto saxophone, (about a year and a half ago). I'm a late bloomer, so any adivce and tips re playing are all welcome. I play a yanagisawa A902 (my pride and joy) and love jazz.
My love of jazz began in my teens/early twenties when I bagan to attend jazz gigs all around Dublin with my dad. I've always loved the saxophone and have wanted to play one since then. My one regret is not learning to play sooner. My favorite sax player at the moment is Stan Getz (Yeah, I know he played tenor!!) I absolutely love the bossa nova stuff. Always open to suggestions on other artists etc. as my knowledge is quite limited.
I've become a member to pick up some tips/advice on both playing techniques and equipment and also to enjoy the general discussions. Whenever I do google searches this forum always yields results, so it was just a matter of time before I got sucked in!!
That's it from me....
