Just having some fun over here.... here is some Jungle book fun 🎶🎶🎶

I’ve been spending a lot of time with the flute & sax lately, but I figured it was time to dust off the clarinet and give it a little attention. Here’s a short clip of Fly Me to the Moon. It’s always fun jumping back and forth between the saxophone and clarinet. They may both use a reed, but they definitely keep you honest in different ways. Hope you enjoy it!

So this coming week I am going to try something that might be unique to this community. I am going to start a weekly challenge/collaboration. We have sax players and guitarists in this community, plus a couple of members that play multiple instruments. So, I want to create a challenge that has all of us working together to create a unique collaboration. I will provide prompts to get the creative juices flowing each day (7 days) and by the end of the challenge we will see what happens. On the 7th day, sometime that works for everyone we will come together on a live community call to discuss or try to play the collaboration together. To make it better, I'll compile what we come up with in my composition program so we can see what we create. How does that sound to everyone?

As a sax player, I couldn’t resist. Here’s Moon River on flute, but with a FlipHead instead of the standard headjoint. It gives the flute a saxophone style mouthpiece, so it feels a little more familiar to those of us who spend most of our time on reeds. Is it still a flute? Absolutely. Did I still try to turn it into a saxophone anyway? Also absolutely. 😂

I’ll get the ball rolling. Here’s a little bit of House of the Rising Sun on my tenor. I’m still very much learning, so feedback is always welcome. Now it’s your turn. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been playing for 30 years or 30 days. Post a short clip of something you’ve been working on this week. It can be a scale, a song, a riff, or even the squeak you’ve finally conquered. Let’s get some music flowing through this group again. I’d love to hear what everyone is playing!
