Cause saxoponist extraordinaire and
Janet Bates interviewer fantastic
on question time thank you Christian
thank you Alexandra good morning Dave
good morning Janet it's great to be here
how old were you when you first started
playing the sachs well I was 13 years
old about your age right you're 12 right
so and I had already played the piano
and the drums and I was of course
horrible at both of them and it wasn't
until I picked up the saxophone that I
found an instrument that really felt
natural for me can you show us how to
play a saxophone sure this is uh an alto
what you have to do basically is learn
how to finger and you press the buttons
down and that's what changes the note
plus also there's a mouthpiece on there
this is the mouthpiece and this black
thing right here is a what we call a
read and the read vibrates against the
mouthpiece and that sends a sound if you
just take this
alone sounds like a duck call or
something like that alone but when you
put it on the
saxophone
and put your mouth on it and you blow
into it it makes this sound
[Music]
wow are there different kinds of
saxophones
oh boy it's hard on the back this is
called a baritone and uh this is about
as big as you are right now I think very
big what would you like me to play um
Old McDonald all right
pretty low huh now the next one up from
the baritone is the tenor
[Music]
sacks that's the tenor and then if you
take the mouthpiece off of this
Put it on the straight soprano
[Music]
and that's the saxophone family which
one is your favorite
this is my favorite right here
there you go can you play something for
us sure i'll play a little song that I
like to call the Ode to the Kids Songs
television show okay just for you okay
