Learning to play the saxophone (Hello Saxophone)

For more info visit www.HelloSaxophone.com The first thing to do is to put the mouthpiece up against the upper front teeth in your mouth. Put your upper teeth about halfway on top of the mouthpiece (see the picture below). Its important that you dont push your teeth on the sax! but to push the sax up against your teeth! You do this by pushing the sax forward very slightly with your left thumb and by making sure the length of the neck strap is right. Let the horn rest comfortably against your belly. When you have the mouthpiece in your mouth, push the top of the saxophone away from you gently with your left thumb. You will feel some pressure on your upper teeth.

Is it viable to learn violin (fiddle) well enough to play English Folk music without getting regular lessons?
I already been playing concertina for nearly 2 years and melodeon (one row and 2 row) for just over a year both of which I’ve learnt from books, dvd’s, youtube and the occasional workshop.
I’ve like to learn the violin (fiddle) as the more I get into english folk music the more I realize some tunes may be easier on violin (fiddle) plus I like the thought of not having to get a new instrument for every different key I want to play. I do know 2 people who play violin so i could get them to help spot any bad habits.
So any suggestions on good books/dvd’s to start with.
I’m quite happy to spend months just playing scales its the only way the concertina finally ‘clicked’ so I could play in more than the home keys.
