Well, do I have just the thing for you!

Inspired by the new year, I have decided to launch a new videocast series called “Ask Amy.” I will answer your questions about composing for the saxophone using traditional and not-so-traditional techniques. I encourage you to send all of your saxophone-related questions to me at: amy@amyschumacher.com

For instant gratification, you can also check out my Note to Composers.
