Hi, I want to play “In The Mood” in alto saxophone. Thanks !
I seriously am horrible at all these songs except fireflies. I have that song memorized because I am singing a solo in my school concert for it, and luckily my music teacher is my band teacher and she is letting me play it in the concert. grade5
