I met again with my new friend/fellow sax player and this time we focused on trills. For the first time ever, I looked at a trill chart, and together we learned all kinds of special buttons and cheats in order to do trills on the saxophone. I used buttons I have never used before on any saxophone, and it was absolutely delightful. It was fun to learn and to teach at the same time, and I feel like such a more accomplished sax player now finally knowing all these trilling secrets!
[The coolest thing was the next night at band practice, we actually got to use one of the best cheats because we had to trill from C (which uses just one finger to play) to D (which uses 7 seven fingers to player). Thanks to the chart, we now know we can just play C like normal and trill one little button on the sax!]
With delight,
♥Jamie
