Hi all,

Well, this really does seem to be a very active, busy forum!

I'm Ben. 18 years Old.

Musical background - Started on piano (have done Grade 8), then went on to learn saxophone. Just did my ATCL at the end of June which was interesting what with A-levels at the same time - busy, busy, busy. In September I'm going to do the Bmus on (classical) saxophone at Trinity College of Music, which I'm REALLY looking forward to.

See you all on the forums!

Ben.

Wow, lots of welcomes. Thanks everyone.

Sarah, for my ATCL I did:

Bach - Sonata G minor (on Tenor)
Some piece by Cowles with 'apple' in the title - can't remember I borrowed the music from my teacher.
Flamenco Jazz - Paul Harvey
The Binge Concerto.

It was all really last minute as I wasn't sure I was going to have time to do the exam. I did Fantasia by Villa-Lobos about a month earlier for my A-level recital, but although I love it, it wouldn't have been completely safe doing it for the ATCL! Also, I'm not sure they'd have let me as it's on the FTCL syllabus.

Speaking of the Binge concerto...have any of you saxophonists out there listened to the recording of it on the album 'Sailing By', which is a collection of Binge's works? Apparently it was played by a swedish virtuoso saxophonist...

Scaramouche
