Hi Blogheads, Today I'd like you to write about something you would like to learn to do. Personally, I'll like to learn to play the Saxophone. I already play a little bit of guitar and keyboard and I think it would be really cool to learn the sax. When I was younger I tried to learn clarinet which has the same fingering and a similar blowing technique to the sax but I didn't get beyond playing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" very badly. My school leant me a clarinet because they didn't have a sax. I didn't have a place to practice and I didn't have a proper teacher. After about 6 months I gave up and taught myself to play the guitar (badly!!).
I think David Bowie was my main influence for wanting to play sax. He played when he was younger and did a very cool photo-shot that came out when I was aged 13, a time when I was a big fan of his. Anyway, I bought a sax earlier this year but I haven't found time to get lessons yet. However, I am on the look out for a good teacher...Write about something you would like to do:
Say:_
What it is,
Why you would like to learn it,
How difficult it would be to learn,
How long it would take to learn,
What equipment you would need,
What difficulties you would face in trying to learn:
Mention anything else you think is relevant.
Write at least 200 words. Leave a comment on my blog and on the blogs of at least 3 classmates.
Here are 2 of my favourite saxophone pieces:)
