The sax is a pretty popular instrument. It doesn’t get illustrated as often, as the guitar, the piano or the violin. Still, it does make an appearance in the artwork from time to time. This instrument is mainly associated with Jazz. Still, it can work in any other types of music. Certain rock bands have used the instrument, and even classical folks make use of the saxophone. The saxophone was invented by Adolphe Sax. He made if around the 1840s. They come in different pitches and sizes. The most common sax works on the B and E scales. This instrument...

I was thinking of what to blog about, and then I thought of Scary Cat. There is a new book coming out. Hopefully, I will get it published before New Year. If not, at least I tried as all. I have already mentioned something about it before. I even made a silly video about it. I included the video in this blog. I have been lately trying out the video blog stuff.

There is a world of instruments out there for the learning. If not for the world, then at least your can create music that completes you. The instrument is part of the transposing woodwind instruments. It was invented in 1856. It was named after the Pierre Auguste Sarrus, who had the idea for the instrument. Like those whinny twins, Sarrus did not get credit for his creation, nor...
