The Music Center of the Northwest in Seattle had (has?) an adult saxophone group, usually 3 to 5 members. Taught by a local sax player/teacher/repair tech. It was actually a good way for a beginning sax player to get to understand group playing. Timing, dynamics, even some instrument maintenance. In other group settings, the instructor takes time to explain fingerings to guitar players, rhythm to the drummer, volume to the drummer, personal hygiene to the drummer, etc. In an all saxophone group, more of the instruction, even explanations to another group member apply to the sax in general and can be helpful. The instructor always had her horn and could quickly demonstrate, so it was a lesson and a hoot.
