"But Redo, you already wrote a blog post yesterdaaayyyy" What can I say? I have too much to talk about.
You know that feeling when you can handle specific homework tasks quicker than the average student?
I'm merely referring to stuff that actually interest you, so for example, i really liked literature, so when i had homework about a certain song, i finished it too quickly(we had a great teacher btw).
But because i was way too curious about that song, i couldn't remain patient and i willingly looked up it's history. it just feels boring that you're already done with your task and have nothing further to do.
I really don't want to show off, but it seems that i got tons of progress with the saxophone on a really fast pace. i only practice each piece of homework for a week, and my teacher moves on to the next pieces.
Once i can handle a piece more than enough, i find myself unsatisfied. "I wanna play more songs", i think.
Fortunately, the internet exists, and so is youtube. as it turns out....i can also play songs on the saxophone by ear!
It's great because not every music piece has music sheets for certain instruments, which leaves me to just figure out the melody by myself.
You know Mega Man X? Remember Armored Armadillo's Stage Theme? Even if it's not intended for the saxophone, i learned to play a great portion of it(still need to finish one big part) just by listening to it.
For now i play it a bit slower, but i wanna try to put some swing in it so it wouldn't feel just like an import, but more like an actual cover.
then i just tried other songs from my head and had a great time.
I can't do solos yet, or anything that resembles a hard saxophone solo, but i really gotta say that some video game music sounds incredibly fantastic on the saxophone. just fantastic.
