What do you like about this subject? I enjoy teaching and playing saxophone immensely.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I am always trying to improve my teaching technics and of course, learn a little something new every time I play the horn.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Saxophone was invented by Adolph Sax and made its debut at the Paris World's Fair in 1867.
