Haha Julie. I’m sure all felt the same when I was first learning. How long have you been suffering this way?
Or how long has she been learning?
About 18 long tortuous months now. I'm pretty certain she has as much musicality in her as I do which is no sense of tone or tune or timing at all Her teacher says she will get it eventually, I have less faith than her

Oh wow! Now this is what’s so cool about chatting with others who share similar interests. Fabulous find.
I have Band in a Box and eventually I’d like to make my own CD but not to sell,just for my own pleasure. My girlfriend did it.
Another thing I’m currently looking into is accompanying music minus the main instrument. They come with music. That way when you learn the sax you have accompaniment to back you up. I’d like to learn to make my own background music but I’m behind computer wise so I’ll have to start learning some

Thanks Omah. That’s really helpful.
I have BIAB but it's getting very dated for people like me, who prefer to work with midi files.
BUT, having generated a track in BIAB, it's very easy to import the midi file into Musescore.
Here's what Musescore looks like, playing one of my (non-BIAB) arrangements:
You may need to adjust your PC sound mixer to obtain the best quality playback, for example, I have mine usually set to Living Room/Jazz.
