The saxophone is a single-reed instrument that produces sound through vibration of its reed and the opening and closing of holes along the instrument. It is a mellow sound that is comparable to a human voice in many ways. Played well, it allows a listener to drift into another world where nothing but sound exists. TikTok user Jen posts numerous videos of her son, who is a talented saxophone player. She snuck up to catch this practice session.

Misplayed, the saxophone can be a squeaky and obnoxious noisemaker that would wreck the nerves of the calmest person. Played well, it can soothe a wild beast. When the smooth sounds of a New York City busker carried through a walking tunnel, he was joined for an impromptu duet with a Dalmatian. Two strangers on the NYC subway pulled out their saxophones and entertained the commuters with a medley of tunes.
Isaac’s mom Jen, doesn’t have to leave the house to hear the fantastic sounds of a sax. Having a son who is a saxophone player has definite advantages. The sound of a saxophone inspires much of our jazz and blues music. It can transport the listener back in time to the old speakeasies that were prevalent in the 1920s and early 1930s.
People like Jen’s son, Isaac, who excel as saxophone players, are said to have “old souls.” Jen hears that old soul in her son’s music.
