I want to learn how to play saxophone.
The problem is, I don`t know where to start, I have no experience with music in general, other than disastrous piano lessons when I was 8.
If anyone's from Oregon, preferably the Portland area, please PM me with info.

Thanks!

I played Alto and Baritone sax all through school. I talked to a HighSchool music teacher recently. He said the Saxophone was one of the easiest instruments to teach new students. I personally don't think it's any harder or easier than any other instrument.
I would start with my nearest music store, instrument rental and such and see if they have a teacher. They're not cheap by the way. I think student models are around $700.00 or so.
