This is the time of year when couples start to plan and book for their weddings, and to confirm this I have 4 weddings shows booked to exhibit at in February.
One of the difficulties that couples have, is not knowing what to ask suppliers when they are discussing their wedding.
So I have put together a document relating to the music side of the big day. This should give you a good idea of the things that you should be thinking about, and to discuss with your other half before talking to the musicians about your big day.
If you can think of anything else that should be added to the list, please let me know and I will add it for other couples.
Thanks you for taking the time to read this.

I posted at the beginning of the week about bringing back the StaxofSax Saxophone workshops. The post gave details of the first event on the 28th of May 2023 here on the Isle of Wight.
So this post is an update for those that have already booked, and a heads up for those that are still thinking about it or didn’t see the initial post.
We are limiting the day to 30 players so that we can provide proper support for everyone. We have booked 22 players in already.
We will work on warm up techniques, ensemble playing (various sizes) and lots of there things that will benefit your playing including a Q and A session.
The music will be sent out in advance so that you can have a look at it before the big day, and we will only have a 30 minute lunch break so that we can make the most of playing time. You will need to bring your own lunch, but tea and coffee will be provided.
The venue has on site free parking, enough for everyone and is only a few minutes away from Newport Town centre.
I have attached the flyer again as this has more details for you all, and I would be grateful if you could share it amongst your sax playing buddies.
Many thanks for reading this and I hope to see you there.
Best wishes
Dave

I have just been asked to exhibit at the East Afton Farm House open day on Sunday the 26th of February 2023.
The event starts at 11 am until 4 pm and is ideal for not only people looking at East Afton as a venue, but also for couples wanting ideas from different suppliers.
There is a performers corner to listen to the different musicians that have been invited, and I start at 11.15am with other acts throughout the day. There will also be other types of wedding professionals exhibiting too.
This is a beautiful venue and really worth a visit for prospective couples.
Why not pop along and have a look for yourself.
Best wishes
Dave

On my YouTube Channel I have some tutorial videos on subjects such as low note finger patterns and Upper register key work. I am looking to expand this type of video as students find them useful to refer to in between lessons,.
I am going to aim them at different levels so that I include as many students as possible.
My question is, what topics do you think would be useful for students from beginners to advanced?
Let me know in the comments below and I will make a list of subjects to get working on.
Thanks
Dave

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas, but it’s now time to look to the New Year.
what is 2023 bringing for you?
Have you got engaged? Christmas is the most popular time to get engaged. Maybe planning a party or decided that it’s time you took up a new musical hobby. Loads of saxophones bought for Christmas.
Well, I can help you with all of these things. I could provide the live music for your wedding or party, or help with learning to play the saxophone. Lessons can be face to face or via video link.
If you would like to talk about any of these or any other plans you have, drop me a message either in the comments below or via email at dave.saxteach@yahoo.co.uk
Have a brilliant New Year
Best wishes
Dave
