Ok so, i have a 'found saxaphone' from a friend's family, its been sitting in the house for years but recently ive started getting to grips with it.
Im a musician already so in abstract this is not a new journey for me, buttt i have some questions:

- how often should i be 'burning' through reeds? its been like 2 months now and im on my 2nd

- any general tips for learners or bad habits i should avoid

- any tip-offs for BIPoC, or at least, not american, youtubers doing tutorial series with a focus on basic repertoire.

🎬 :sax: "Bird" (1988) just screened @ TCM. Clint Eastwood's movie about #ChalieParker is a must for jazz fans.

Edit: I don't know if "Donna Lee" was on the soundtrack, but it's a favorite.

Call me predictable but this is my favourite Gene Ammons track -Hittin' the jug (1960) - Listen to that natural reverb too #musicmonday #Music #GeneAmmons #Saxaphone #Jazz

"Why so stressed about the band performance?"

"Because if I make a mistake I can't blend in."

"Sure you can. Everyone else will be playing their instruments, it'll help mask any inconsistencies."

"Not this year."

"Why not this year?"

"Because of the boys."

"I am not following. What do the boys have to do with anything?"

"They all play saxaphone."

"*All* the boys play saxaphone?"

"Yes. They think the saxaphone is cool, I guess."

"I can see that -- if your parents only ever exposed you to 80s music or jazz. But why is that an issue?"

"Because none of them actually play."

"Wait. So you have a bunch of saxaphone playing boys who aren't *actually* playing their saxes?!"

"They only fake play."

"So I understand: ... All the boys in your class fake-play the saxaphone in your class band."

"Yes."

"That's not cool at all."

"Not for the rest of us."
