    Wow, nice one.

    I've no idea what comes next. I'm doing grade 8 electric guitar at the moment, there's a teaching diploma next which I'm considering doing, if even to force me to keep practicing.

    Good point..... Just keep going, is it the RIAMor Abrsm?
    Get some experience with wind bands, I think the ABRSM have a jazz grade series for sax!
    Try Soprano sax maybe or other registers.

    Maybe I might start up something else, I'd love to be able to play guitar or maybe even Piano. What is the teaching Diploma?

    I'd love to play something else, especially now that I have a grasp of the theory.
