Re: Sax Newbie
Hey, West. You just made me chuckle. You made me think of something when you said, "By the the way, if you ever think that you'll never get better, you're wrong. it'll just take time."
I rented a flute last August. I was going to try to learn to play. It got me frustrated, and I packed it in. I thought it was me, and I was too impatient to learn (I'm 45, and already an "old dog" or something, I guess). Anyway, one of my sons started playing flute in school. He was doing alright, but he wanted lessons. I told him if he would work at it, I'd buy him a new one. He did. I did. He finds it is MUCH better than the rental.
The kick in the head is that I didn't realize until you just offered that encouragement to Newbie that I think part of my frustration wasn't me - it was the flute. Maybe I'll buy a new one like I bought my son, and give it another go.
The moral of the story? I guess you just never know who will get something good out of what you say here. Thanks. I think I'll give it another go.
