Watching this video reminded me of my first encounter with my husband's Macintosh. Growing quite frustrated as he immediately launched into a lecture on the use of a mouse and GUI concepts, I blew up and screamed, "How do you turn the (insert your own expletive here) thing on?" This is simply NOT the case with Ultimate Beginner Series: Alto Saxophone. Instructor Ed Calle starts by opening up the saxophone case and demonstrating how to remove the protective cork under the pads of a brand new instrument. By the end of the program, viewers will know some basic music theory, correct posture, instrument maintenance, proper breathing techniques, and how to play a few notes. At only $9.95 per title, this is a highly recommended series which also includes instruction for a number of other wind instruments. Aud: I, J, H, P. (V. Elliott)
