@SaxymanMLC Everything you've said yourself is like me--drum major, everything the music dept. offers, going to uni to teach music..., except I'm geared to jazz. I thought it was quite a cool coincidence. :)

i was gonna say a collage student can learn a gr. 5 piece without this lol and im thirteen and dont need this to play it well(no offence) bt good help for a beginner at this song

i personally play a yamaha alto custom ex really dark rich tone with exceptional intonation and design (exceptional meaning remarkable) lol any questions about it just ask

*but MY passion...

So I see you are a music teacher. I am going to college for that. I hope to direct choir and band in the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod high school system. I think it might end up being a six year program.

(Sorry about the to/too mixup. I usually do those kind of things right.) I play on a Yanagisawa 901 alto with a Rousseau 5r mouthpiece. I am only a freshman in college - first chair in band. In high school I played in every group (jazz, marching, symphonic band, polka band, etc) I was also drum major. I do a lot of singing, but passion is more classical than jazz. Sure, I can play jazz, but I'm not super good at it.
did u do this for collage students?

No, actually I did it for a middle school student who was going in for an audition. I wanted him to be able to play it well, hence the slower tempo. Did the video afterward just for fun.

So what is your passion? I attended the University of California at San Diego, was actually a clarinet major! What does the MLC stand for? I'm really glad that you have responded and I'm thrilled that we have opened up a dialogue.
I have heard much about the Yanagisawa saxes but have never played one. I hear they are remarkable instruments. Where are you in school? Hope I'm not being too intrusive or asking too many questions...just curious.

You do realize that the tempo is WAY to slow, right? Other than that, pretty good interpretation.

Of course I realize that..I purposely recorded it slow for a student to work on, there was NO WAY he was going to play it at tempo.

Ok. I didn't mean to sound mean.

You didn't...and it's WAY TOO slow. So I checked out your channel and it's cool. What do you play. I've got a Selmer MarkVII alto, heard on the recording and a Mark VI tenor, which is a super sweet horn. I'm more or a jazz player that dabbles in legit. (I know I know, that's not allowed.)
