    Hi kadrian …. Need some advice no matter how I tried with the mouthpiece and neck … sound is good but when attach them to the horn it a whole different thing … cause I was wondering if it is the sax .. cause I bought a alto sax from amazon …. People say that buying a cheap sax from those places doesn’t sound good like a good sax which you can get for the money

    Is it better to letter each note so we can read it faster, and why ryhtms are so hard to memorize 🤔🤔

    • @KadrianThomas
      @KadrianThomas 18 днів тому

      Yes, we can letter the notes but that's a slower way to learn. Its better to choose a key example G major and stick to sight-reading in that one key for a week etc. Rhythms are hard to memorize because of the approach taken. If you take 5 minutes to work on rhythms everyday you'll be amazed at how fast you improve. Stick with simple rhythms first, example level one rhythms and ride those notes until you can't for get them. Continue to add more complex structures over time. Inconsistency is the biggest culprit for most people.

    Thank you, Kadrian, for the reminders. I really appreciate them. The issue I struggle with is simply accepting the way I sound, being more open and vulnerable in playing. I don't know if it makes sense... but your tips help😊

    • @KadrianThomas
      @KadrianThomas 23 дні тому

      It's my pleasure. Keep pushing man. Keep working on that sound daily even for 5 minutes consistently. The more consistent you are the better you will begin to sound. Just remember, it always gets worse before it gets better. Keep practicing.

    For the adorence, you can fit it just ever so slightly enough into the bell of a bari, which should allow you to put it into the case of one. Well, depending on how wide the curve of the harness is. I have a pretty narrow frame in terms of depth or.... width from looking from the side of my body and not the front view (shoulder to shoulder).
