This inexpensive 13-inch recorder has surprisingly good sound quality. The cream-colored, plastic instrument easily disassembles into three parts and comes with a canvas carrying bag, simple instructions, and a fingering sheet... |
Is learning to play the recorder going to help with saxophone?
I'd like to learn to play the sax, but I currently don't have enough money to buy/rent one or to take lessons.
I do have one of those plastic Yamaha soprano recorders with which I've been practicing (on my own, using a book from the local arts school).
Is that going to help me at all for when I'll get a saxophone (a couple of months to a year)?
it might help on your maybe your brathing and wil help on your notes but the sax and the recoreder are to different instrumesnt with different Embrochures( how you form you mouth) and different fingering because sax has a lot of different keys than the recorder has. i would say it wouldnt help you that much. probably jsut on your notes and breathing

Weather Report Mysterious Traveller Jazz Music CD Review
Not sure what’s happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Mysterious Traveller gets. Mysterious Traveller simply put is one of their best CDs to date.
It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn’t a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it's own.
Mysterious Traveller is a nicely varied, mix of 7 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly gifted musicians. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.
Listen to this CD and I believe you’ll find there's not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and this is clearly the work of a group of musicians in top form. So much so that if you're even mildly into Jazz music you'll enjoy this album.
While the entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2 - American Tango, track 5 - Blackthorn Rose, and track 7 - Jungle Book
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Nubian Sundance. Good stuff!
