Introduction Total newbie

[magz]

Hi,
Im totally new to the saxophone and to this forum. I have been interested in playing the saxophone since i was at school, but ive never had the courage or the money to do it.
So finally on Thursday 6th i have my first lesson.
I have not yet brought a saxophone, as i wanted to make sure that it is the right instument for me. My tutor has told me there are different types of saxophone and i will have to choose which one is best for me aswel.
Is there any advice anyone can give me for sticking to it, and getting through the hard parts. 🙂

Hi magz and welcome to the Breakfast Room. Good luck with the lesson, your tutor will hopefully give you some good advaice on what saxiophone to get, for beigginners it would usually be alto r tenor. probably a good idea for you to listen to a lot of saxophone music to decide which suits you. It may depend on the style of music you like, e.g. for Rock & Roll then tenor is probably the best way to go.

Hi Magz, and welcome aboard. The guys here know EVERYTHING and will help you through the hard times, says me who is only 5 months into learning (but loving every minute). I play the Alto, but more by accident than design. Take your time, practice a little every day, and you'll get there ! 🙂
