Play difficult and interesting things. If you play boring things, you risk losing your appetite. Saxophone can be tedious with too much of the same.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sometimes a sound gets overused. There is such a thing as a good saxophone, but it's like those fields in agriculture - they need to rest for a year or so. You need time to burn all the saxophones and start from scratch.
If you like an instrument that sings, play the saxophone. At its best it's like the human voice.
Saxophone is one thing, and music is another.
I was focusing on sax while at Berklee, but then I started to play Brazilian choro and Colombian music. I was doing more folkloric stuff on the clarinet because it works better. Finally, I realized I was working more on the clarinet than the saxophone, and I started to feel more comfortable on it.
You can work on the saxophone alone, but ultimately you must perform with others.
I am a frustrated saxophone player. If I could, I would abandon all of my books, and I would trade it all if I could play the way people I admire play.
The other saxophones, except as solo instruments, really don't have much point in the orchestra.
I am a saxophone player.
I'm a little musically inclined; I play the clarinet and the saxophone.
Don't play the saxophone. Let it play you.
