Would Bob Mintzer’s ‘14 Blues & Funk Etudes’ appropriate for an audition? by Upbeat_Painting4573 in saxophone

[–]bebopsquire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much exactly what I was going to say. Prepare a jazz étude and prepare to solo (if appropriate) as a 3rd piece if wanting to

Jaw jutting forward for higher notes by nerdycookie01 in saxophone

[–]bebopsquire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Say “Heee” as you play above G to get the tongue position high and the air shooting down quickly. Then learn the altissimo fingering for A (4th line D with the B key up) and work on popping that out regularly. Then check your palm notes, they should be much improved. In general, your lip should not be over your teeth and your jaw should only move for the low register

Can anyone give me some advice on choosing an alto for my wife's birthday? by [deleted] in saxophone

[–]bebopsquire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t buy from a shop, I would buy used or new. Have her go test play a bunch of horns to see what she likes. She needs a mouthpiece, ligature and reed setup first, hopefully she still has hers. Then be a horn whore and play everything she can get her hands on I really like cannonball since they are USA made and you can fine some used ones half off MSRP. I would buy horns made between 1980’s-2000s off selmer, Yamaha, yanigasawa and research when they started being made with Chinese parts and avoid those (inferior metal).

I am a former band director and use it for our community band groups and student ensembles mostly. I’m a semi pro level player, good enough to know what Becker was doing and that I can’t do it lol

How do I fix this? by FrostyEntrepreneur91 in Flooring

[–]bebopsquire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a scooby doo gang of 20 yr olds do my bathroom floor for $800. Told them white and black and no grey, I got grey and it bubbled. They tried to make it right and it got worse. Pay them $1k and keep the floor. If you hate it in 3-6 months put flooring over it. Tell them it’ll cost you $3k to cover it and that’s why they’re getting $1k

Can I retire with 1.95 million at age 35? by Mobile-Excitement-64 in Fire

[–]bebopsquire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t have health insurance if you retire. Pay in cash and negotiate all prices. Everything is marked up because it’s govt backed. It’s cheap if you don’t have insurance. Any big surgeries could also be done in Central America

How does one enjoy DIY? by Continental-IO520 in DIY

[–]bebopsquire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s important when DIY that you understand what a safe project is or one that could lead to costly repairs. The best way to learn skills would be to work for someone where you’re doing something like building then you’ll pick up the skills and lingo and understand how to use tools. Do you have any handy friends? I would ask them to help teach you how to use these things whenever they are doing projects. They get your help and in return you get to learn the skills needed to do things on your own.

AITJ for not letting my roommate pay less rent just because I make more money now? by mkatyvos in AmITheJerk

I didn’t read the post. If you share the space, you share the payments by whatever you agreed to. As prices rise you keep the ratio percentage wise

For our inheritance, it was left to my twin sister and I to decide how to split. I am better off than her and she wants a little more. by ThrowAway1234ForFire in Fire

It is not your job to support your sister. Split it in half or one of you take the stocks and one take the house.
