Introduction Hi

Hi everyone. Just got my first tenor sax and now have the task of trying to get to grips with it. Got the John O'Neill jazz method for Tenor Saxophone which seems to be very good however I think maybe a DVD would be better than a book for me to start with. I've been reading in the forums that the songs on Pete's site has been transposed making it possible to play along with his DVD. When I called in my local music shop to by it, they told me It would be no use to me as it was for alto and not to waste my money as there are no good DVD's for tenor.

Sorry should have said my wife is due in 6 weeks. Don't think it would be too wise for anyone to be blowing that hard on a sax with only 6 weeks left

Hi and welcome to the Breakfast Room.

The DVD is presented on alto. If you understand the concept of transposing then the DVD can be used to learn tenor, but you would always be hearing a different note to the one fingered on the DVD. Perhaps someone who is uding it to learn tenor would be able to give the best advice on how useful it is.
