Question:My music teacher has requested me to play tenor sax because we've only got a couple in our concert band. I played alto saxophone for a few months a couple of years ago, but it didn't last long. I'm basically a beginner at saxophone but an advanced musician, if you will.I already play piano, cello, bass, mandolin, guitar, and I sing. If anyone has any useful little tidbits on this glorious instrument please share. Thank you in advance!

Tenor Sax is awesome. Use lots of air and you are going to win.

For inspiration listen to Charlie Parker.
