I agree somewhat and disagree with both sides of the discussion here. The mouthpiece and tonal concepts, yes, are MUCH more important than the horn that an individual plays on. Look at Parker and his...

You think that's odd, wait until you hit University... The weirdest thing ever when I played my first performance at a local highschool and the kids were all awed and all questions, and it was just a...

Alright, and now is when I get a chance to support the website that I have grown to love so much... I am a University player, so of a decent level, just getting into playing the alto more so than...

It has been suggested that I try the Selmer BG on my alto, does anyone on here have experience on this ligature, and if so what do you think?

Hey,

Any of you who reside anywhere near the Windsor area are invited to come check out the concert being put on by the University of Windsor Jazz Band and Jazz Combo.

It is on April 7th at...

I call the Bari 'the Beast', my alto is named 'Parker', for obvious reasons, my idol :D I see nothing wrong with naming your instruments :D

Tonality and general tuning issues... students need to be made aware of what fingerings are going to play more out of tune than others so that when approaching a longer held note they have the...

I found it humerous, going into University, how the stereotypes of our highschool continued on through and were pretty much identical.

Flutes were slightly ditzy, always trying to show off by...

alright:
Vocals - lord knows, as soon as I could sing (and by that I mean I was in pro lessons before I entered kindergarten)
Guitar - 8
Piano - 9
Clarinet/Oboe/Saxophone - 14
Trumpet/Trombone...

On most horns the 1 and 1 fingering plays out of tune and therefore unless assisting in a fast run often should be avoided. The Bis fingering and the side fingering both prove to be intune better in...

Does anyone have the quartet arrangement for this??????? Our quartet is doing some school tours and figured this would be a good one for the elementary schools because it is recognizable.... I had...

Thanks for the tips, I appretiate it :)

I too will admit to having dated a percussionist lol :D

One of the biggest things outside of the chemical addictions with smoking is the sensation that your body looks for. There is a nerve along your bottom lip that is triggered when you have a cigarette...

I do most of my sax playing on the Bari, and personally I want to get my hands on my own Series II... I am currently playing on a friend's and I LOVE it

Same thing happened to me with a band that I was playing in, except it was an alto and the player had no idea, didn't have the experience to even know what he was looking for... I thought I was going...

I tend to listen to some of Parker's tracks while driving, they seem to really encompass the rhythm and energy of city driving to me, especially at night with the black sky illuminated by the lights...

You should also look into the hidden treasures up north. Although for the most part Canadian schools may not actually be known for music, it all depends on the teacher, some of them are very good...

Sax and flute... ah, yes.... we are a deadly combination are we not :D *high five*

I am a performance major in University who came in solely a jazz player and have recently been learning how to play classical music. I am playing with a quartet and right now am working on the...
