I have aquired a music stand and bought a Sax stand to make practicing easier.


















I have also been given 2 new Jazz sax books, 'Creative Saxophone' which focuses on jazz improvisation for beginners, and 'It dont mean a thing' which has 10 Jazz Saxophone tunes to play along with a cd, i will start to work through these books in the next few practices.




































In todays practice after running through all previous material i learned a new tune, ' 'Short Stop', I have recorded 'Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen' but i didnt record 'Short Stop' as i havnt perfected it yet. To listen to 'Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen' click the title of the blog above this one, there are also pictures of the 2 tunes.
