If you hear beginning band or string players and wonder how their teachers can handle those awful sounds…
…it’s because of how excited the kids are. They’re holding a sax in their hands for the first time. They’re blowing into it and REAL SOUND is coming out!! And they can CHANGE the sound! And play a tune they recognize!!!
We teachers don’t teach beginners because of the sound, we teach because we get to share in children’s joy, and it’s like nothing else in the world.
