Hello...Just think this is amazing. Excellent!.Do you feel that you can tell me the music material that aided you the most in terms of learning and quick proficiency..

[mikaylasax]

Hi,

I'm Mike, Mikayla's grandfather. I'm glad you enjoyed her performance. Mikayla spent her first two years as a sax player, with her sax in her hands whenever possible. She spent endless hours listening to great jazz and learning to play the songs she liked.

But perhaps the most helpful thing to her was exposure to a number of great musicians who encouraged her and advised her on various aspects of playing the sax.

Thank you Mikayla you always have nice comments to this harmonica/keyboardist being as great of a saxophonist yourself. You are a great friend.
