Ep 1 - James Besaw
from Making Noise Podcast Hosted by Adam Kennaugh
James Besaw is a saxophonist and instructor living in Saginaw, MI. We met over 5 years ago and have been collaborating ever since. Some of the things we discuss in this podcast: Our experience at the 2015 Nief-Norf Summer Music Festival. “What was one thing from your experience at Nief-Norf that made you the performer you are today?” “It doesn’t have to be perfect/perfection is not the thing to strive for” Rehearsing, performing, and the use of tablature notation for Initial Contact “…you have to beat your previous self.” Self-imposed expectations of music students. Reminding yourself why you’re a musician and harnessing the joy you get from it.
