Hi From N Ireland

Great Gavan, thanks for your info. Good on you and I think the keyboard is a huge benfit to help understand music better and so will spill over to the sax learning.
The Yamaha is a very nice horn so as long as it’s in good working order you should be fine. Let us know your mouthpiece and reed set up though…

I use the yamaha 4c mouthpiece have tried more expensive ones like the Otto and Wanne makes which I am sure
are maybe much better but the Yamaha one works best for me.
I also use a plastic reed 2-5 which saves all the hassle of dipping in water but it lasts much longer and to be honest I think again it works better for me.
my practice routine is a bit boring but I just spend some time on the scales – doing chromatic scale now.
spend some time doing long notes and then play a few pieces – working on the The Swan which is a beautiful piece – I am far
from perfect but seem to be getting a little better as time goes on – but no gig bookings just yet!!
