Sax Choir is a monthly workshop on the first Sunday of the month 2 – 4.30pm at The Globe.
All saxophone players (clarinettists too) of any ability are welcome, anyone who wants to enjoy playing and learning alongside other enthusiasts in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere.
The Sax Choir play music from a wide range of genres – blues, jazz, folk, pop, klezmer, classical, with an increasingly stronger element of free jazz and willingness to explore unusual/unique harmonies and accompaniments. The choir learn tunes by ear and sometimes from printed arrangements (which can often get impro rewrites!.. so non-readers will be able to participate fully.)
The Sax Choir aim to work in the great tradition of colliery bands with absolute beginners and professional level players learning and improving together believing everyone has a place in the single reed democracy.
ALL WELCOME! No commitment needed. No punctuality needed. Listeners welcome too and not unheard of…
Here’s a brief video to give you idea of what we do.
