Hi all,
Having acquired my saxophone, and by the way, I am delighted with it, I am looking for the best way to learn.
I did have a couple of lessons from one when I had my rental, but he only did zoom and I didn’t really feel that good about online. I would rather have one or two in-person lessons a month than a zoom every week. In any case, on my pension I can’t afford weekly lessons. I am away from home a fair bit and for extended periods in the summer.
With all this in mind, I’m considering buying a complete online or video course ( eg Taming the Saxophone ) and also having a once or twice a month face - to - face lesson with some breaks.
I’m hoping that by having these intermittent lessons it might be enough to correct any mistakes or wrong directions I’m taking with my playing, while I make some progress in between on my own using the online course. Does this seem a good - or even possible - idea?
Would teachers go for this arrangment or not?
