Paul you have done an amazing job! Much respect as i finally after many years can rebuild my saxophone skills again. In the old days i taught myself first and then got some lessons and then i also taught some beginner sax stuff. That was back in the 90ties hahaha. I am an proud dyslectic autodidact musician with eventually an degree in music teaching (perform and educated 7 instruments over the years in my own company) and being music therapist. I had my own music education company in Rotterdam and worked for many years as music teacher in school, music school and private music location including my own education company. Yet ...due to the walks of life and parenthood i completely lost track of the elementary stuff and my own music development. Yes i can play, perform and record still, it only has been a bit quite. Now my children are getting older and i can get more time in training myself again :-) By watching your way of educating the saxophone i get inspired to pick it up properly. The same also with doctor Willy Wallace also an amazing teacher. So yes great that you have visuals in the training accompanied with the scores and all content you provide. Amazing achievement and as an old schooler from 1974 i grateful to learn from you too. Kind healthy from out of Finland from a Dutch guy. Bastiaan
another good instructional video paul, the altissimo range is going to be hard to reach for me but it is all about practice, thanks for taking time out to post this and all other videos people appreciate it take it from me.👏👏👏
Please correct me if I'm wrong. At 5:46, for the lower Db, shouldn't the 3 keys for right hand be pressed as well? The fingering chart in the video shows the 3 right hand keys as white. Maybe it's a different way to play the note? I'm still learning. Thank you.
Is there a way to come down in notes on the Tenor when they play the high F and D? I still want it to sound good, but as a beginner I can’t hit those notes.
