Hi

[ozjett]

Hi All I am 48 and have just gone and purchased a alto sax yas-23 having never played before and have quickly discovered (after scaring the dog half to death) that lessons might be a good Idea

 

[kevgermany]

Big welcome from me. You'll get better quickly, but your dog will never forget. Have fun!

 

[Jeanette]

Welcome to the cafe

The dog will learn to hide or join in with some howling

Welcome Ozjett, just took up sax - again - at 53 but I have three Weimeraners. Was thinking of getting a Yam 23 but will now stick to my Roy Benson alto!

Welcome to the caff©, ozjett.

Can we detect an antipodean influence from the first syllable?

ENJOY!​™

Hi, ozjett!

You may find this helpful if you are looking for a teacher - providing you are in the UK: http://www.musicteachers.co.uk/ Though if your username includes the phrase "oz" and you have an older Yamaha then you might not be local!

Kind regards
Tom

Hi Oz and welcome. Sorry about the dog but I can recommend an excellent teacher who specialises in teaching dogs the saxophone. It takes a little time for the pooch to get used to standing on it`s hind legs. But I know of a Dachshund who regularily busks in Oxford Street and causes quite a stir with it`s rendering of `How much is that doggie in the Window.` Regds N.

Welcome from a fellow Australasian.

Hi OZ. My dog loves my playing so much he likes to sing along, which is off putting as his singing is not very good.

G'day Ozjet
I'm a fellow countryman from way out west. 64 and only started playing 2-3 months ago. The dog will get used to it and/or join it. My best mate Bucky is starting to join in. In better tune than me I might add.

Cheers Clive

Welcome

You've just discovered that the sax can be loud and a bit wild!

He should be used to loud and wild, being from Australia

Welcome to the Cafe - my dogs hide when I play the alto, but the bari scares the squirrels right out of the stone wall. Pete Thomas has some great youTube vids, check them out too. Enjoy!
