Swaggers Pathway to Fame, a Sax learning adventure

**Swagger** · September 17, 2009, 03:07 PM

since im going to learn the saxophone, i decided to start my own blog, and share my experiences

and hopefuly this might also help my motivation

September 17:

I went to a philarmonic music society called Capricho, it's well known within my city

For 26€/month (yes, 26 euros a month) i have 2 individual classes per week, plus 1 in group (the band), they provide the instrument absolutly for free, wich if we leave the music school it must be returned

The band has most blow instruments (clarinet, trumpet.. etc)

the classes start at October 1

and that's it for today

sorry for any possible mistake, but im not much used to instrument names..

Thanks for your time

Yours, Swagger

A Small Step

I went to the music school today

i had to fill some registration papers, and i've been told to return next week to talk with my teacher to make a compatible schedule with my school and the teacher's (he also teaches in a high school) then i can start my classes

and that's it

**Swagger** · September 29, 2009, 04:30 PM

well, just a small add

i recieved a phone call today, i was asked to go there tomorrow around 7pm to talk with the teacher

he wants to talk about my interest on the saxophone, make the class schedules.. etc

The Beginning

i just ended my music class

no saxophone playing, that will have to wait 1-2 months since before i start it, i must first learn how to read music, understand the staffs/staves and all of that

that was pretty much the whole thing i've learned today

i got some homework to do, it's basicly a rythm exercice

and other that is to write the notes, and recognize their location in the staff (there's a sequence and i have to see wich note is it, Dó Ré Mi Fá Sol Lá Si Dó)

well anyway i had my first class today a few minutes ago

i learned (i tried..) how to make a sound, it's quite hard to make is constant (starting is the hardest.. if you start bad you dont do a thing)

now the exercices to switch between Sol, Lá and Si ... the simplest notes to make

not to mention making the sound
