Introduction Hello!

[Marge]

Hi I'm Maggie, Margaret, Marge, Mags.....or mum...depending who I'm with. Most call me Mags. I'm 60 in May and my husband bought me an alto sax for Christmas 2023 after years of me saying I'd like to learn. I think he got fed up of hearing me say it! I tried a few online lessons at first without much success but I've now got a tenor, which I prefer, and have lessons with Tom. I'm not very good and i dont think will ever be brilliant but I enjoy it so much more than I could imagine. So hello and I look forward to learning loads from you all.

Hello mum and welcome. I mean Marge.

Great name, I had an auntie Marge.

I think we should have a competition to guess where you are in that avatar icon. It's not Leeds.

Not really...its somewhere in Scotland..we went walking there last year. I forget exactly where. My kids hate the hat so I wore it on purpose....all the time!

Wecome Mags! Some will say you made the right move to tenor, but as for me, I’m tri-saxual. Great you have a tutor. You’ll have fun here!

Welcome to the café, have fun here 🙂

I'll be 60 in a few days, started learning sax in my late 40s, I still love it, just need more time.

Thank you. It's good to be here. Yes my tutor is great, patience of a Saint. He must get fed up of hearing all my sqeaks and squawking but he doesn't show it

I find it's slower learning anything as I get older, things just don't stick the same but I enjoy trying
