I just uploaded this so I could hopefully get some constructive criticism
I've only been playing since December so don't be too harsh :P
Things I already know I screwed up so you don't have to tell me:
The last note. I'm aware that my instrument squawks when I go into the altissimo regitster for that last high note. I'm just not skilled enough yet to make that transition smoothly.
About two thirds of the way through, the song seems like there's a part missing. This is because ordinarily the supporting band would be playing here while the alto sax rests. Since no supporting band was present, I just cut that part out and skipped to where the alto sax comes back in.
I breathe loud. That's partly noviceness on my part, and partly the fact that the camera was right in front of me. If you were 100 feet away from me in some sort of performing venue, you wouldn't hear that stupid breathing.
Random screw-ups. I'm human. Plus I have the added bonus of not being very good at my instrument.
"Harlem Nocturne" is a copyrighted work. However, according to the Fair Use Agreement, this video is valid because my performance is merely a cover (and a really bad one, too) of the original work.
Thanks for listening and be sure to subscribe :D
