jhurst- i started playing the alto sax 14 months ago,
and passed my abrsm grade 2 last november.
Trying to do a grade a year, & doing a
1 year music theory course at the same
time – which is a great help!
I’d like to upgrade to an alto ref 54,
i haven’t got the itch for a tenor or
a soprano. But i’m learning in the
shadow of a pro sax player which
really helps! in terms of setups,
how you breathe, handle the sax etc
useful short cuts in fingering, sight
reading playing etc..
But i’ll see in 3 years time and try out
the ref 54, i know some people prefer
yani’s to the selmer – i guess thats the
way it goes!
got a thewanne rubber durga 3 blue no.7
mouthpiece on order – can’t wait to
try it out. Apparently its made of a
new material that isn’t ebonite and
is supposed to be slightly different!
How abour yourself – have you done
any grades, played in bands & the
like?
