Questions

Ask Joyce Spencer anything...

Q: I notice you play the flute do you like it better than the sax?

A: Hi JazzieMagic1. Actually I prefer saxophone, and my favorite sax is Alto, then soprano and tenor sax. Even though I'm playing more flute & singing more than usual due to audience demand, I still play more alto sax than any other instrument.
