To add to the slow reading and the difficulty of keeping up, i keep having spit accumulating and then the sax sounds all rusty and gorgly ( gorgly...haha). Yea. So i have to stop, swallow the spit and then try to find where we at.
This is kinda gross, but you have to suck in the spit through the mouthpeice. I suggest you do it the conductor stops everyone or when there's a period of rest in your music (whether it be a quarter rest or 3 measures of rest). Just so you know, it happens to all of us...
