Introduction Hello

[bec]

Hi I got (very kindly!) bought an alto sax a while back and have been trying to teach myself to play with various books most of which listed on here.

I'm doing ok but think may be worthwhile getting some lessons sometime soon!

Found this forum through ask.co.uk and thought would register and say hello! 🙂

Hi Bec,

Welcome from Wokingham. I've only been playing the alto for about 6 weeks...and loving it!!! I'm having lessons, I would definitely recommend them!!

We're a friendly bunch here, so don't be afraid to ask any questions (for the more experienced players to answer!!)

Hi Bec and welcome - I'm self taught and am now having lessons after 12 years! - best get the lessons in before you get into bad habits.

Welcome Bec from sunny Southampton, hope you have a nice time here.

Hi Bec, I've only been playing about 6 months and so far am self taught. Should start lessons but it's finding the time as I also take a night class once a week and have the family to look after and work etc. Might have to drop the night class to find the time 🙁

Still all good advice can be found here, don't be afraid to ask.

Hi Bec, and welcome. I've been learning since May with a weekly lesson. They are a friendly bunch here, and you can ask the dumbest questions (as I have done) and get good replies. Get yourself a teacher, just to steer you away from bad habits....and enjoy 🙂

Hi thanks very much for your messages and welcome,

I think you are all right and I must get myself into gear to find a tutor (will head to the teaching section now!)and make the time as it is something I am really enjoying and would hate to get into bad habits or worse leave it sitting in the corner!

Feel free to ask as many questions as you like, Pete's site is a fantastic resource, take full use of it and I'm sure your progress will be swift!

Oh and get some lessons too.

Welcome

Hi Bec

Late reply, welcome from New Zealand.

The world of Saxophone playing is many faceted, enjoy the process, if it grabs ya it's a terminal case.

Cheers
