Because you asked in the video, Nigel ... Yes, I could have such a practice video once a week 😀 I still have the feeling that I will never manage to play really fast. And I don't know exactly how to practise it. Here in this video you have shown that wonderfully. Thank you very much for that! 🙏

Do I like these type of lessons duh YES!! ALL musicians needs to be reeducated on how to play certain note dictations and this is PERFECT for beginner and intermediate sax players as well as other musicians to get better. Thank you Nigel for emphasizing this concept to the daily practice on the saxophone.

I bought my first brand new (cheap) saxophone when I started. I wore it down in 6 months by playing it 6 hours a day. I bought a Selmer after that. I still have it after 30 years. Practice makes perfect. I taught myself but it was pretty much the same what you said.
