First sax lesson!
Monday afternoon I was comprehensively soaked in the downpour for a 30min lesson with Belinda Evangelista who is both really nice and lives really close to my place, less distance even than Earlsfield (my local) train station. I discovered that I have far too much of my lower lip on the reed - that, and mouthing “oooo” for a note had a dramatic difference on the tone. It didn’t sound like a duck any more, basically. Also discovered it’s OK to have an alto between your legs rather than to one side. Which is a relief as that was starting to get uncomfortable.
I was surprised and delighted to discover Belinda’s first lesson is free!
