Dreading going back to school? Well hopefully some FREE Items will make it a little easier! Start the year off right when you move up to an intermediate or professional instrument and we will include an instrument stand, music stand, or mute (for brass players) at no additional cost!
This offer is available now through the end of August.
As you continue to progress as musicians, you will eventually outgrow the equipment you are using. Even if you feel like you aren’t ready to jump into an upgraded instrument, I highly encourage you to play test a step up or professional level instrument if you get the chance. Play testing a new instrument is a skill on par to sight reading: you might not necessarily do it every day, but the more you do it, the easier it will get!
With summer in full swing, I thought it would be a good idea to share some of my favorite trumpet players to listen to!
Mauriat Saxophones have arrived at Paige’s Music! Lets take a second to talk about some of the Tenors that we currently have in stock.
The PMXT 66-RX in the unlacquered finish has an amazing look to it. The extra engraving on it really brings the look of the saxophone together. Another cool thing about this saxophone is that the key inlays are metal, which helps with the resonance of the horn. The PMXT 66-RX features rolled tone holes, which are pulled directly from the body, as opposed to being soldered onto the body after the fact.
The first Indianapolis 500-mile Sweepstakes Race was held at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on May 30, 1911. We invite you to celebrate the 111th anniversary of the greatest spectacle in racing with us by racing in for our Month-Of-May sale!
Saxophone specific books can be a great resource for improving your playing capability. I have a few book recommendations that have helped me in my journey of learning the saxophone.
When it comes to reeds, there are a lot of options available to play and it can be overwhelming at times. Most beginners play on the Vandoren Traditional (blue box) but there is a wide variety of options available. You should try out different kinds of reeds to find what works best for you.
When looking for a new mouthpiece I think it is a great idea to try out a few mouthpieces before you decide on making the purchase. I have some recommendations for jazz mouthpieces that will help the development of a quality jazz sound. I believe that starting out on a hard rubber jazz mouthpiece will help develop a strong sound and feel for the jazz mouthpieces.
If you are just getting started in jazz band I would recommend trying out some Meyer and Otto Link mouthpieces preferably the hard rubber. These mouthpieces are not only great for beginners, but more advanced players as well. If you are a little bit more advanced with jazz music. I would highly recommend trying out the Vandoren V16 M/S+, Daddario Jazz Select (pictured), or Jody Jazz Hr*. These mouthpieces are high quality and reasonably priced!
Please reach out to me if you have any questions!
