Have you ever picked up your sax and started practicing and noticed that you are having feelings of frustration, disappointment or self doubt?I know that I certainly have. I've been playing the sax for over 25 years now and, especially in the early years, I had feelings that made me want to throw the sax across the room.Of course I would never actually do such a thing, and I can assure you that no saxophones were hurt or injured in my personal journey with this beautiful instrument so far!But how do we manage those negative feelings? And what kind of mindset works best in order to make realistic and achievable improvements on the saxophone for beginners?In this blog post I would like to share with you techniques that have worked for me and that have had great success for other people that I have had the pleasure and honour to teach.
