Introduction hello from another newbie

[jackiek]

Hi I am 36 and have myself a Bundy alto sax. I have been playing this on and off over the years and have the basics. But now I am determined to learn to play it well.
This is a great site and if anyone has any suggestions or tips to help me get better (apart from lots of practice of course 😛 ) I would love to hear from you
hope you are all having a grand day from here in sunny birmingham!

Hi Jackie, Welcome from sunny Wokingham.

I'm a beginner myself (in fact I'm not getting my sax 'til my birthday next month - see other threads!!!)

Everyone is very friendly and helpful here, so ask away with any questions you have. i'm sure you'll get loads of replies.

Nick

Thanks everyone. there are so many sites on the net for guitars and so on, it is quite hard to find a good one dedicated to saxaphones! My neighbours are going to love me!
:laugh:
As you can see I am not too worried about it! Gotta sound bad before you can sound good right?

The first part of that is definitely true in my case. I'll keep you posted on the second part...!

Welcome aboard from The Wandle Surf Beach in wonderful downtown Croydon.
Enjoy but first a question. Do we pronounce the 'ek' as 'heck' without the aspirate or 'eeeeek' as when startled by a mouse? :?

 

[frankb]

I think it may be a contraction of Jackie K.

Then again you may need to start thinking of me as Fran Kb! 😉

Hi Jackiek
welcome from the east Riding of Yorkshire - 200 yards from the cold North Sea

I'm new to the forum as well, and very new to the sax!

I think you will find this is a great site for help and encouragement.
