Saxophone Interview With Pete

The other day I was luck enough to have a great chat and saxophone interview with one of our AWESOME Members, Pete from the United Kingdom.

Pete was kind enough to spend some time talking to me about his saxophone journey and all of the amazing things he has done since starting to learn how to play the saxophone approximately two years ago.

And the story Pete told about his rock star moment with his Granddaughter certainly brought a tear to this saxophonists eye.....

Thanks so much Pete for your time, your generosity, your advice and for sharing your musical experiences during our saxophone interview !!

How To Play Paper In Fire On The Saxophone

Paper In Fire by John Mellencamp has a great riff that is just screaming for us to play along with on our saxophones. 

Paper In Fire Saxophone Lessons anyone ?

The original instrumentation for the main riff in Paper In Fire was a combination of violin, guitar and accordion (and possibly banjo too).

However, adding in a saxophone to ANY riff in ANY song is ALWAYS a good idea :-)

How To Play The Saxophone Solo From Da Doo Ron Ron

In the early 1960’s, when life was in black and white, The Crystals had a mega hit with their strangely titled song Da Doo Ron Ron.

Sometimes known as Da Do Run Ron, or Da Doo Ron Ron – or several other strange permutations and spellings of these 4 syllables, this song is classic 1960’s rock at it’s best.  It was unusual because it was NOT a 12 bar blues like many other songs were at the time.

And….it featured a Baritone Saxophone solo.

The good thing about Bari saxophones is that they are in the same key as Alto saxophones, so they translate nicely together.

In this free saxophone lesson, we will learn how to play the saxophone solo (most of it) for Da Doo Ron Ron on our Alto saxophones.
