The link above redirects you to a video of the Maples Collegiate Winter Band Concert, however when fast forwarded to 31:41 of the video, I am seen improvising on the tenor saxophone. This is something that I enjoy learning and performing, because it is like a language. When I improvise, I create a story, but instead of saying it through words, I express my ideas through different styles, rhythms and notes. I can honestly say that improvising has helped me to gain more confidence in myself because everything is improvised on the spot, and so I have to trust what I want to "say" and how it is conveyed through the music. Moreover, it has also taught me a whole new world of jazz music that has been hidden until I began learning it.
