My saxophone teacher Jennifer Palfreyman listend and helped
to improve my playing.
Most of my notes were the same length and not reading the music.
Jennfer advised tonguing on the first note and the two A A in bar 3.
The GG in bar 4.
The E E and the F# semiquaver.
The Christmas Carol is a lovely starting piece of music and fairly easy.

My next piece of music I wanted to learn Moonglow on Alto Sax
again on Youtube I loved the version recorded on Queen Mary.
RMS Queen Mary-Benny Goodman 'Moonglow'.
From: Chiswick2
A great tribute to the RMS Queen Mary set to the Benny Goodman classic 'Moonglow'.
Chiswick2 worked really hard on this video and brought back the nostalgic atmosphere.
