    Hey Geojinkl, don't be nervous. As long as you practice what your teacher says and enjoy it, they will want to pass you. in any case music is for fun and for YOU so never let anyone or any exam put you off - you can always take it again!

  • The common solution ...

    The common solution to just a few sharp notes on your saxothone is to adjust your embouchure or try alternate fingerings.
    To answer your other question, i recommend starting with method books(rubank) and go from there.
