Dear all
This is my first post as I am new to the playing the saxophone.
What I'd like to know is what should I look for in a teacher? I have one but I'm not sure about the methods used. The teacher is a bit hap-hazard and I feel I am not being taught in a logical way. I have a very limited ability to read music (only between the lines!) and after my 4th lesson I've been told to play a track that I like and try to play along with it. I've not got to grips with scales yet - shouldn't I be learning those first? I don't want to pay out a lot of money just to find that I'm not really progressing under his tutoring.
Any advice would be appreciated!
