Instrument Spotlight of the Week: Saxophone!
Saxophone Fun Facts:
The saxophone is used in all types of music especially concert band and jazz band. Some famous saxophone players are John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Cannonball Adderly, Woody Herman, Branford Marasalis and former President Bill Clinton!
There is a very cool youtube video done by the US Army Field Band which shows some very neat and unheard of saxophones. I HIGHLY recommend that you check out the video. It is pretty neat to see some of these instruments and some are totally CRAZY! Check out the video below:
