Introduction Hi from Harlow

[davisan1]

Hi All!

My name is Andy, I'm from sunny (?) Harlow in the UK. I'm 50 & have been playing Sax for ~3 years - my first musical instrument since Primary school! It's been a real challenge to learn everything including how to read music & the theory from scratch, but I feel like I've made a bit of progress. I've not had many lessons - mostly have picked things up from books & internet - but I do play (C-Melody) with a local church band & just started more jazz-like regular lessons on my Yani 901 alto.

I just wish I could learn faster - my brain & fingers are still not connected, and I have a lot of trouble with sight reading & finger dexterity. Which is how I found this site - looking for sax exercises via a google search. So please could I get access to the pdf's as well?

Thats enough from me for now - but if anyone has good suggestions for improving sight reading I'd love to hear from you!

Andy
