Hello,
Just registered here, thought it might be useful to be in a community with saxophone players, considering I recently started playing the tenor saxophone
So...about myself...my name is Petar, I am from Croatia. I am currently a college student at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering. Since my country is in a big recession due to the people who don't do their job right at the political part, I am also working as a Box Office manager at the Cinestar Multiplex.
I am also a volunteering fireman for almost 7 years now, and I have been doing stuff with computers and electronics for quite some time now. This year I started being an innovator and won a few gold medals for my innovation which is, a variation of the radiation detector. I also programmed in VB.net and now I am learning C++.
As for the musical part, I used to play the piano, but then found out that it isn't..."my thing". I've always had dreams for the saxophone, and after some time, I decided to save some money and bought one. To be honest, I wanted to try the Alto, but they didn't have one at my local music store, so I bought the tenor (only one they've had was a Stagg brand. My friend plays the drums and he says that Stagg brands aren't that good...I hope I didn't make a mistake)
It's been 3 months since I started playing, but I don't have enough money for private lessons so I bought a book I found on the web called "Essential music elements 2000".
I also wanted to ask you experienced players, if you have any recommendation, for learning, materials, book's, tutorials etc. I want to learn blues and jazz, but after I finish this book, which is only the essential learning, I don't know how to continue. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
And again, saying hello to everyone here ;}
