Introduction Hello from Halifax

[oliver_bentley]

Hey, Just joined the forum. I'm 19, and been playing the sax 9 years. Practice like a mad man, and I'm interested in the more rock/funk side to Jazz (Be bop not really my thing) Hope to make it as a pro, but then dont we all. Hopefully off to Leeds next year.

Site looks great, nice to have a UK based forum.

Go for it...I want to see your name in lights!

I wish I'd started that young too

Me too.

But I did go to Leeds.

Welcome to the Breakfast Room

Welcome Oliver

I don't wish I'd started that young... I wish I was 'still' that young 😉

Greetings from Spain.

Hi Oliver,

I can't even remember if I ever was that young.

lol - and here was I thinking I'd started too late. Was Leeds good for you Pete?

Btw, good idea having the doorbell thread, every other forum you go to you feel like an outsider for weeks - good to get a welcome. Ta

Hi Oliver, welcome from Hertfordshire. I did start that young on other instruments, unfortunately it took me 35 years to get round to saxophone 🙂 Go for it with the Leeds thing, all the best.

cheers, Bob

Yes it was, the course was probably not quite as good then as it is now, but I had some great teachers anyway and it was great to be surrounded by so many other mucians and practice rooms. That is often the main thing.

But I recently went back to do a masterclass and research seminar, it now seems like a great course.
