Introduction Hi, I'm Karen

[Karen2022]

I've recently got a tenor sax and whilst I have previous experience of brass instruments I've never had to use a reed. I'm looking forward to learning from the experienced amongst us, and whilst a teacher would be the best way to go, due to my location that's not really a viable option. So please be gentle with me.

Welcome. You might find an online teacher. That might be somewhat helpful in getting going. Or maybe there is a player in your area that might help you get started. You already know musical basics so you are well on your way.

That's the downfall of living in Shetland. The up side is..... everything else!

Welcome to the café, have fun here.

Online lessons can work well.

I've been helped watching Jay Metcalf / Better Sax on YouTube. All free and organized in progression from just starting and up from there. Entertaining.

My oldest daughter is Karen.

 

[Karen2022]

Thank you for your welcomes. I have been dabbling with online tuition, I just need to find one and stay with it.

Welcome to the Caff.

Shetland looks beautifully bleak on the TV series (I loved the books, the TV show maybe less so).

Hi Rhys, bleak is the perfect description. The days are getting longer and lighter but it's still brutal outside.

but it's still brutal outside.

I live slightly inland, halfway up Norway... I believe we've just shared a server weather situation!

We only got as far as Orkney when we visited a year ago this month. Though it was windy enough if I had jumped I think I might have made it to Shetland.

That's one thing we are not short of, the wind. Gust of 60mph today and has been for a while now. Snow forecast for next week. on the brighter side such long days in the summer.
