    What he does really well is he has a good tone. Most people his age could probably play those notes with practise but to play it as well is a different story.

      Magic Sisters Where is it rare? Just curious as in East Texas where I reside it's played just as much as all the other brass instruments in the bands here.

      @chonkiestcat6996 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Triggered Scrub lol, the brass in my band is pretty good, it's just our saxophones are mostly composed of "popular" kids who's only intent is that it looks cool to play a saxophone but they never practice so we spend 30 minutes a day trying to fix them and the percussion section who keep talking in the back and pissing off my band director 87% of the time

  • @TPainWhatitDo
    @TPainWhatitDo 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I thought he was going to be shockingly good at it which would explain why this was recommended and why it has so many views. But he was just okay.

    • @mellowhigh491
      @mellowhigh491 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2
