When you’re typing on a computer, being able to type quickly and efficiently helps you communicate faster and easier.

However, no one really notices how fast you type.

It’s convenient to be able to do efficiently.

And you probably won’t hurt yourself if you’re using proper technique, or you’ll at least be less likely to.

But it’s not exactly a spectacle to see someone type.

People care about the message that’s being typed.

Saxophone technique is similar, no one cares about the technique itself, (well, it could impress a few people) they’re mostly interested in what you’re saying on saxophone.  What the music is about.

There is a major benefit to working on technique though.

Recently, I went back to some of the fundamentals of technique on sax, cleaned things up.
