This is related to Carbs' recent poll about how much you enjoyed School band.
I think how much we learn from a band teacher is often related to what the instrument they knew best was. My band teacher was a smalltown symphony French Horn player and a passable Trumpet player.
As a result my saxophone instruction was limited. (Also, the only sax teacher in town was the Symphony's principal clarinettist, not a saxophone teacher and not at all interested in teaching me any of the music I was interested (mostly Ellington at the time.)....but that's for a different thread someday......
