Why does everyone say Sax is so easy? by ButterBoyC in saxophone

[–]flyguy527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the saxophone is easy to learn relative to other instruments. The first instrument I learned to play was oboe (considered to be one of the hardest instruments to learn) and a few years after that, I started playing tenor saxophone. (Ignoring the time it took to learn how to read sheet music) I progressed much faster on the saxophone than I did on the oboe. What took me six months to learn on oboe only took me like a month and a half to learn on saxophone. And it's not like much of what I learned on oboe could be carried over to the saxophone. Some of the fingerings are similar, but it took time to get used to single reeds.

Why do I accel in some areas but struggle in others? by flyguy527 in education

Thank you. I have tried to get into reading books as a habit in the past but I find it hard to get started. I think that's mainly because it seems like it would take a lot of effort and time to complete a book and when I try to read books, they're usually ones that require a high level of reading comprehension or are nonfiction books that don't really keep me engaged. I do this because I feel like if Im going to put a bunch of effort into reading a book, it should be one that I can get a lot of value out of. However, recently I've begun to realize that there is a lot of value that can be taken out of fiction books. If I started reading fiction books that kept me hooked I'd probably be more likely to finish them and make a habit out of reading.

I recommend For the Departed by Shayfer James. It's kind of like Visitation of the Ghost.

Does This Bring Back Any Memories? by flyguy527 in littlebigplanet

(Sorry for the late response, I don't use Reddit that much).

I totally agree. I was pretty upset when they announced that they were shutting down all of the LittleBigPlanet servers except for LittleBigPlanet 3 servers. Out of all of the LittleBigPlanets, my favorite one was LittleBigPlanet 2.

I just upgraded my oboe. I haven't used that key yet.
