...not that kind of meaning lol
You see, today I had my first Saxophone lesson! (*imaginary audience clapping*) I was pretty lucky to end up with a cool teacher as well.
Honestly, i liked the lesson. straight to the point, straight to the basics, no complaints from the teacher.
When it comes to how I play the Sax, it's easy to produce sound and keep the beat intact, but producing a specific type of the same tone, is pretty frigging hard.
What made it hard for me was using the tongue. I automatically produce air from the neck, but the teacher tells me to NOT use it while i exhale air to the mouthpiece.
It's even harder when i realized that i need to place my tongue below the mouthpiece(close to the reed), when i've been placing it above it all the time. not to mention the reed below that itches me in the tongue if i touch it while producing sound, and putting distance is so hard because i automatically flip my tongue up.
Funny thing is, despite putting my tongue above the mouthpiece, i still produce some amazing sounds. If i'll end up with a career in the far future, i'm gonna call my solo performance/stage name, "The Upper Tongue".
Fortunately, since my mom is a vocal pedagogy teacher, she agreed to help me practice tongue control tomorrow. But yeah, i didn't expect to do everything fine on my first lesson, and surprisingly enough, i'm a quick-learner, so I already got songs for homework. The sound itself is lovely and funky. Plenty of potential ahead :3
Also got a scheduled date for my driving license test. naturally i'm a bit nervous, but i'll get over it. as we all know, there's always next time in case someone fails.
