You Raise Me Up Tenor Sax

My first saxophone playing on youtube.

When you listen to a recording of yourself, it really puts things into prespective.

I wish I had an accompaniment to go with my sheet music... /: It seems so bland by itself.. I tried to be emotional, but I dunno.

Maybe I'll do it again some time.

Good. How long have you been playing? It's been at least a year since you put this video on YouTube. You should be better by now if you've been practicing daily. You need to work on your embishure. A soft reed is good for starting out, then work up to a stiffer one as the muscles in your face strengthen through practice. Then work on your vibrato. How about uploading another song so we can see how you've been progressing?

@Ward00 Thanks for the intellectual critique (not typical of an internet comment ;P). I'll consider posting a new video, but I'm at University now and it's embarrassing when I play in my residence and everyone can here xP Also I played everyday for 8 months after this video was posted, but in the summer I slacked and I'm not in University for music, so I've probably gotten worse. BUT, I'll still consider it. Because I still love playing. (:

what you could do is learn it with all kinds of instruments and record lots of videos and put them all into one :) one person orchestra

[Lilycus]

@ginojuice2 Yes.. I have access to that many instruments... But not really. :( You wanna fund me, Gino? xD

This is great for a beginning player, but i felt like there is no emotion in this performance. Moreover, work on your phrasing, at least 4 measures is the standard, but you can fluctuate a bit depends on your own ear. I'm not sure whether it's you breathing or it is written into the music like that, but definitely try to make the gap between each note shorter... good effort though. :)

@Lilycus Just find somewhere private to have a blow and enjoy yourself without feeling inhibited.

Good luck.
