Hello! Since you play saxophone......
What is ur fav kind of saxophone (if u play more than one) and what kinda band you play in???
What advice u give to future musicians?????
Hello Anon!
Well I play the Tenor and Alto Saxophone but I like the Alto more.
I am in three bands:
Symphonic, Jazz and Marching band.
The advice I give to future musicians is that you will NEVER learn every corner of music. Its a procces that will keep on going FOREVER! Thats why music is called art!!! It goes on and on and on and on...
When you pick up that sticks, bow, insturment, or whatever kind of insturmemt you are going to play... Play it with your heart. Play it with FEELING!
If you mess up, keep going! You dont have to worry about what the others hear! The audience might not even notice and think its part of the song...
I know I just gave more than one advice but here is one that is the most important of all...
Have fun.
Your music or band teacher might tell that band is for hard workers and they do have a point but have fun. Have fun making music!
I wish you luck on your road of making music...

I was a band nerd in middle and high school. I was never super dilligent about practicing or good at sightreading, and to be honest I hated playing solo. But playing in the middle of a large ensemble was honestly a euphoric experience that engaged all of my senses so perfectly. I saw the instructions on the sheet music and the director conducting, heard the sound of the different instruments surrounding me rising, falling, and harmonizing with and against each other, felt the vibration of my bass clarinet in my mouth and fingertips shift as I moved through different pitches and volumes, and felt the vibration of my tapping foot and the rest of the ensemble through the floor. Most importantly, I utilized both conscious and unconscious processing to take in all that information at once, synthesize it, and immediately let that guide my playing in a constant feedback loop. Embouchure reflexively tightens to hit a higher note, and I can feel from the vibration in my mouth how close I am to squeaking, even if I can't hear myself over everyone else. The conductor's hand raises to bring all the players with him in a crescendo that makes the whole room shake while still maintaining that careful balance of volume and pitch between the different instruments. The tubas and I take turns breathing and playing a single note at a time in a perfectly timed polka beat between us that will form the base for the higher instruments' melody. Listening to music, even in surround sound or at a concert, is nothing compared to the mental state of being part of the music.
Looking back, i think this was an ADHD and/or autism thing, of hitting that rare perfect sweet spot of sensory stimulation and hyperfocus. Playing in a large ensemble engaged my chronically understimulated brain at exactly the right level. But now I'm an adult, and I don't have the access or skill to play music in large groups anymore. I always considered myself a fan of music, but I don't actually listen to it very much on my own. Pre-recorded music often just feels like sounds AT me instead of WITH me, if that makes sense. Sometimes I can enjoy a particularly good jam in certain contexts, but most of the time listening to music feels flat, underwhelming, and even irritating.
Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone have any tips for ways that I can enjoy listening to music without feeling understimulated, or recommendations for music that does manage to hit that sweet spot?

Went and watched my daughter and her fellow band mates perform at their UIL performance. Have about an hour and a half before anyone gets home. Definitely a good time to get naked and play with my pussy. Happy Tuesday, y'all! 💯🙃💦💦💦

The City Built on the Shining Hill (concert band)
I was born, raised, and presently live in, Ishpeming, Michigan (with a few different stops along the way). I suppose most people have warm feelings about their hometown, but I truly think Ishpeming is someplace special. The name Ishpeming comes from the Ojibwe word ishpiming, meaning “above”, “in the air” or “on high,” appropriate given that it lies in elevation above most of the surrounding…

Maturing is not giggling like an idiot every time your conductor says to “do the retard”
