I’m starting a new blogging theme. Things you might not expect to see here. I’ll not post them very often (in fact I’ll probably forget and never post another one) but anyhoo, here’s the first one.
If you happen to be learning the saxophone. And have a friend who is also learning the saxophone, here are some practice tunes, complete with fingering.
You will practice your saxophone
We went to Birmingham Comicon today. It was great fun. The only thing I bought at the show was a year’s supply of saxophone lessons, and they weren’t actually on sale there, that was just a subscription I’d forgot to cancel that automatically renewed itself while I was in Birmingham. I hate it when they do that with no warning. But some good will come of this. I’m going to start practicing the saxophone again…
I took the big heavy camera too with a huge lens too. This proved very bad at getting focus, but I did get a few shots.
Did some saxophone practice today. At the moment I’m having problems finding and holding notes. They keep running off and hiding. I’m wondering about playing when the weather gets warmer and we have to open the windows. I hope I don’t affect local house prices too much.
Great fun to photograph
Last year I acquired a pair of green cord trousers, a cardigan and a saxophone. I’m on my way to becoming a fully fledged beatnik. All I need is the hat and some skills. With that in mind I’m telling both my readers that from now on I will be reporting on saxophone practice at regular intervals.
It turns out that the saxophone is both tricky to play and very loud. But I have persevered. And I can now play any song which is comprised of the notes B, A and G. More notes later.
