Introduction hi from the Philippines

[scottieanthony]

Hi All
Im scott a Welshman,but at this time live here in the Philippines.This is the second time I have started to learn the sax.I have always wanted to play sax since I can remember but was always scared to learn,My first teacher Martin from cardiff after only 5 lessons told me I was doing thing that really I should not be able to do yet , he was very very pls with me.That was the part that scared me.cos I was so happy I thought one day I wil come up against something I cant do I was conviced of this.I put the sax away and never picked it up for another 7 years. I then thought god for me to be like that and me a Hypnotherapist so now Im at going to try again.I guess its true what they say about me ,you can help others but never your self.So its funny I guess that the DVD I got to start again was by Peter Thomas.Well I guess he has to be good he got a Welsh name.

Hi Scottie!
Welcome to the breakfast room. In answer to your mail: I am a Wolves fan, but hardly ever go to matches these days. I leave that to my son; he's a season ticket holder. My real love is Liverpool, where I lived in the 70's.
Anyway, pick up that sax, learn just enough theory and use your ears. Listen, listen and listen! That and self-motivation should make both you and me into half-decent players!!

Hi Scottie

A big welcome to the forum from a fellow ex pat Cymro Cymraeg.
You know it makes sense to get into the sax again. Have fun 🙂

Hi Dylan and thanks for your welcome,yes Im from Wales but now live in the Philippines ,you say that you are a ex pat ,so where in the world are you? I hope you get better luck than I get here if you are looking for any stuff for your sax.
As here I cant get anything it took over 6 months just to get a stand for my sax. But I do have a good choice of reeds 2! lol and one of them is take it or leave it.By the way from where in Wales are you from ?,

Hi Scottie
I'm an ex pat in that I live in London! However I have done an overseas stint in N.Cyprus for three years.

Have you tried ordering stuff over the internet for your sax? There are loads of companies that do mail order these days. Try http://www.sax.co.uk
I bought my sax from them - very friendly bunch. I'm sure the other guys on the forum can give you other pointers and recommendations as well.

Looks like you've got a black laquered sax in your avatar - what is it?
