Composers, please try to compose midnight sun, it has an alto sax solo that literally made me cry, if someone made it, I would be so down to record it on my alto sax and send it to you, thanks!
I am having trouble thinking of song ideas to compose, I am trying to create a remix kind of like the kinds I play in marching band, Ideas would be really helpful!!!!
I just uploaded my first score to my profile. It's an original composition: an oboe solo with piano accompaniment. Please give it a listen if you can! Any and all feedback is much appreciated! thx :)
I uploaded again my piano and clarinet sonata. This is an improved version. Although it will sound better when performed. I hope you like it and thanks for listening,
I have most of my experience writing for strings and brass but I tried to break out of my comfort zone this time by writing for a saxophone ensemble (per request for a school festival). This quartet is what I came up with. Any criticism about what I could do to make this fitting the style of a sax quartet would be greatly appreciated.
Hello, This is a request for creators out here. I was wondering if someone could arrange the song: Ascension by Bruce Faulconer. I have no time to do it because I have to much going on with school. Thanks!
Hello all. Try as I might, I can't find a transcription for Leo P's solo of "get busy". Might anyone have an idea where to find it? Thank you for any input!

Hello everyone. You may already heard about us. We're the Young Composers' Online Orchestra ("YCOO"). Recently, we've started a new project - we're gonna play Elliot Butler's Drama for Orchestra No. 6.
In the process of preparing the parts for our members, we found out that we don't have any English Horns, Violas and Double Basses!
If you can play one (or more :P) of those instruments, please consider joining us either forever, or for the current project only. You could save a LOT of effort and hope we're all giving in our orchestra.
Have a great day, Milan Steklý, moderator of the YCOO
The local music store here, Groth Music (Also the biggest music store in Minnesota) has three different professional tenor sax models for sale, at least that’s what shows on their website. If they have more, I’ll look into it. For now, I just want to know if there are opinions.
The options are:
Selmer Paris Professional Model 54JU Tenor Saxophone
Selmer Paris Professional Model 84 Tenor Saxophone
Yamaha YTS-82ZII Custom Z Tenor Saxophone
Btw, I’m leaning towards the Custom Z because I want one with black lacquer so I can look cool at school :P
Hello everyone, this is my first ever original song, written for my brass/guitar hybrid band, there isn't a drum part because i leave that for the drummer to experiment with. I would love feedback and criticisms! https://musescore.com/user/23666061/scores/5661207
So my parents finally bought me an alto last March (I had 3 years under my belt then) and it's a student yamaha. I thought it sounded fine, and I played fairly decent with it. Marching band passed, and no problems. I got a new mouthpiece (Selmer c star) before auditioning for an all east TN honor band a few months ago in December (I made it), and I thought I sounded good still. My teacher said my sound was fine. Recently, for the past month or two, I've been noticing a subtle "buzzy" sound when I play, and at first I thought it was the reed. I changed reeds and found out that was not the case. I showed my band director, and he said it shouldn't be a problem. I showed my teacher, too, but he said he couldn't hear it. I even gave my friend a chance to play my sax, and we both could hear it. Fast track to a few days ago; I got my sax out to start practicing, and immediately I was hit with the very noticeable buzzy sound... but much worse than before. Almost every note has the buzzy sound in it; especially middle g through middle d. I'm going to meet my teacher about it in a few days. But, would anyone know any reason for this just suddenly happening? I feel like it could be my mouthpiece, since it has tiny scratches here and there, or my alto itself, or both. Any advice would be appreciated.
Hy guys, I play Alto Sax and I'm 14. I play it since I was 10 but I don't feel any improve in technique since 1 year ago. I was wondering how I improve. Thanks for who answers me!
