SP would agree with you on personalized instruction if that is available, in my area there is not even a music store never mind a sax teacher, so the internet has filled in that need nicely, Johnny is very helpful, many times i would ask him a question by email and he always offered great advice, latest was the MP i was using he suggested i use a metal MP over my selmer S 80 c*, got a ottolink 5 and love it. BTW i took lessons from a pro when i first started playing, but that was back in 1954 to 1961 then 3 yrs in a high school band helped immensely. (followed by 55 yrs of not playing which did not help at all).
