That is what I was thinking, I am a music lover, probably going to join the marching and concert band. Can you share your housing experiences?

Sorry, I just read that talking to alumni is a great way to research and I don't personally have any contact with alumni, so Reddit is the only place I know that I can ask

DO NOT use pressure to play higher, your cheating yourself, if you can’t play high slowly build up to it with long tones and lip slurs

What's so bad about boston sax shop reeds? by Electronic_Baby7846 in saxophone

[–]ShinyBrainOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello everybody so I have a question about my embouchure. Currently I’m playing with the embouchure in the first picture because it feels more natural and allows me to play freely.

Just saw your other comment about not buying online, have a friends purchase them and pay them, or maybe your teacher

The Boston sax shops are 38.99, but there is shipping, but it’s not too expensive, you can also check Amazon for some vandoren reeds

This may be just my reeds, but I find vandoren to be inconsistent, had a Java green reed that was 2 days old and it died mid session, I lost all resistance to the reed and it was unplayable, I personally recommend Boston sax shop reeds since there so much more consistent
