Hi Jim, I adore sax and tried to learn this via a teacher about twelve years back. Sadly, I picked the wrong teacher who was a master of all trades but wasn't excellent at none He promised to provide me with enlarged music BUT this never appeared so, not in the position to find another good teacher, I shelved the sax

Anyway, maybe you are right about the playing by ear thing but I have met plenty of 'dots' people who are so robotic and completely lost without their sheets.

Again, thanks for your input.
