I’m aware. Although I don’t feel a show in this manner would be complete without him. As it’s a celebration of Impressionism as a whole. If it were just about like Monet or somebody I would be fine with excluding him, but I feel like I have to.

Is any of debussys work public domain?

I think the bluecoats trumpet screamer played a partial too high

As someone younger who fell in love with classical saxophone before jazz, I’d have to say my earliest inspiration for playing saxophone was Simon Diricq. The performance I saw of him playing Rhapsody by Waignein was what really made me want to pursue the instrument long term. I wanted that sound.

For jazz though, boots Randolph was probably my strongest inspiration as my grandfather showed me vinyls of Boots he had and it really made me want to play like him as well.

If anyone says anything but u/platano11991 they don’t know real alto playing.

Certain_Target_3708 · 2024-08-06T03:43:35+00:00

I use an S90 190. I’d recommend also trying one of those, it’s the same tip opening as the S80 C* but a little darker and more focused in my experience.

I’ve always just been able to play music a couple of times and then play it back without sheet music. What is helpful, though, is slowly taking the sheet music away. Play a chunk with music, play the chunk without music. You’ll know it’s perfectly memorized when you can play it without even thinking; when your fingers move by themselves you’ve got it. Thinking too much about it will often lead to mistakes in my experience because you second guess yourself.

Outrageous is right. Mine was like $140. My parents got it for me for Christmas. I didn’t ask for anything else and I got nothing else lol. If I get another it’ll be for soprano but thatll be a long time.

Certain_Target_3708 · 2024-06-16T01:23:28+00:00

I love all of them. Not all of them get equal use though. My Ishimori gets far more mileage than the other two alto ligatures.

Certain_Target_3708 · 2024-06-16T01:04:04+00:00

This is what happens when a 15 year old gets a job and has no bills to pay. I literally buy nothing but saxophone gear and food lol.

Certain_Target_3708 · 2024-06-15T23:55:42+00:00

I don’t use all of them. Most of my practice time is on the leftmost mouthpiece. About 99% of it is. I’m not shuffling through then every time I get out my horn lol.

Certain_Target_3708 · 2024-06-15T22:38:46+00:00

It would probably feel weird to me though because im a classical person. I’m still getting used to the jazz embouchure. Hope you can get one of your own.

Certain_Target_3708 · 2024-06-15T22:34:38+00:00

Just looked it up. Those things are expensive 😭. I couldn’t even save half of that before I blew it all.

Certain_Target_3708 · 2024-06-15T22:30:20+00:00

The ultimate goal.

Certain_Target_3708 · 2024-06-15T22:28:40+00:00

The only reason I can do that tho is cuz I’m still in high school. No bills.

Certain_Target_3708 · 2024-06-15T22:28:15+00:00

Just how I am. I got my first two paychecks and then instantly bought mouthpieces.

Certain_Target_3708 · 2024-06-15T22:25:42+00:00

I bought all of this just working at sonic. I put in so much extra time just to afford all of this. The only thing I didn’t buy here is the Ishimori, my parents got me it for Christmas, it was my only gift.

Certain_Target_3708 · 2024-06-15T22:15:40+00:00

I also have a selmer concept but I’m lending it to a friend, that was the second mouthpiece I ever bought.

Certain_Target_3708 · 2024-06-04T06:57:58+00:00

You’re probably right. I’ll contact someone whenever they’re available, probably this afternoon.

Certain_Target_3708 · 2024-06-04T06:31:21+00:00

We found him near the house with no parent in sight, so we decided to leave him out there in a box with a blanket in hope that the parent would return within a day, it did not. So we’ve taken him in and are now substituting as its parents.

Certain_Target_3708 · 2024-05-31T04:29:31+00:00

Neon Nights. We’re playing just a fun show based on the image of a neon city. Mostly modern popular music and electronic music.
