I play saxophone. I started in middle school and continued to this day, 15 years. I started on the trumpet and hated it. Switched quickly to saxophone. As for why I chose saxophone...I don't know. I think it was wanting to play in jazz band in middle school, which meant sax, trumpet, trombone or rhythm section. I have played all of those instruments at different points in my career, but my true love is still saxophone.

What brings me back to saxophone? I love the expressive quality of the instrument. I have played everything from Bach cello concertos on baritone sax, to being in a ska punk band on tenor. I love the genre range. I don't think I'll ever stop exploring what you can play on a saxophone.
