That was the only year of band I took, but I missed playing saxophone after we took it back. I always wanted to pick it up again (not that I was very skilled at it in seventh grade) but had neither the time nor opportunity.
My chance came with a music minor requirement, which stipulates I must have so many hours of instruction in an instrument. I've already taken a piano class at BYU; this time I wanted to try sax. They say there's no minimum skill level required to sign up, so I'm going for it. I sold my soul to Summerhay's yesterday in return for a student model and I've been doing my best to brush up on what I learned six/seven years ago. My accomplishments so far: remembering where my hands go, one scale, and parts of a few songs I just played by ear such as the Star Wars theme, Amazing Grace, the U.S. Navy song and taps.
You are sounding work. I'm glad you keep after the things you want in life - like learning to play the sax. Keep up the good work.
