In January this year, I was approached by a chap called Daniel Christian. He runs a YouTube channel called SaxCasts and a FaceBook group called Learning Saxophone. He was looking for some assistance with the FaceBook group and wondered if I would be interested in running a Weekly Q and A live video on Sunday evenings ( 8pm UK time).
It sounded like fun so with a bit of help on the technology side, off I went. We have about 30 or so members join us each week from various parts of the globe and they will post questions during the week. Ranging from anything sax related to performance nerves and music theory.
I do my best to answer them, or point them in the right direction. During the session we also get questions asked live. The videos are then posted to the page for those that want to watch later.
Sometimes I prepare worksheets for certain sublects and they are added to the file section of the page for members to access.
Members will post progress videos and ask for feedback and we run challenges with the aim of promoting learning.
In January we had 350 members, we are now at over 1400 and growing by at least 10 a day.
This is a very friendly group and no nastiness is tolerated. Why not pop on over and join us, it would be great to see you on there.
