I may have built up that title too much!
Hi, I'm Dave, an amateur saxophonist (engineering manager by day) - I played alto in primary school, tenor in high school, played for a little bit at the start of uni then stopped playing save for the odd occasion or two.
Almost 3 years ago I decided I would start playing again and get involved. I have been having lots of fun, enjoying and feeling it much more than I did in school, getting to jams and taking as many opportunities as I can to play in bands etc. I don't get a lot of practice in, but try to get some practice where I can. I also got lessons this year (until the teacher got busy.)
Certainly I have a few bad habits which I'm trying to get rid of, and have so much to work on it's hard to decide where to start, but I am enjoying myself heaps, both in the creating of and the enjoying of music.
I'm currently getting clarinet lessons, and own the main significant members of the sax and clarinet families. (Very) slowly on the side I am teaching myself bass, guitar, piano and baritone horn.
Anyway, that's me, hopefully I will be able to both learn from the forum and contribute to it.
Also, if anyone is from Brisbane, I am happy to meet up/jam/try to get gigs/busk/whatever
Cheers,
Dave
