About Saxophone lessons
Is the saxophone difficult to learn?
If you're new to playing a wind instrument, the saxophone is relatively accessible and a super cool choice. The way you use your fingers to play the notes via the valves is identical on every saxophone. Overblowing a note (taking your sound to a higher pitch) is easier than with, for example, a clarinet.
Can I easily switch from one sax to another?
If you want to switch from, for example, alto to soprano or tenor sax, you'll find that once you master the blowing technique, the transition isn't very difficult.
How do I create that awesome sound?
The saxophone is characterized by its unique sound, which can distinguish you from other saxophonists. With plenty of regular practice, patience, listening to your heroes and experimentation, you'll develop your own personal sound.
Can I learn to play the saxophone later in life?
You can start learning to play the saxophone at about age 8. Whether young or slightly older, the sax is a fantastic instrument that you'll enjoy playing immensely.
In what styles can I play the saxophone?
The saxophone is a versatile instrument. You can play it in many genres! Enjoy playing countless arrangements in sax ensembles or in various styles like tango, jazz, pop, soul, salsa, Latin, and many different jazz styles, such as big band, Dixieland, brass band, swing, hard bop, bebop, funky stuff, or hip-hop.
Is the saxophone suitable for improvising?
Do you want to learn to improvise on your sax? You'll find that starting out is difficult, but once you've mastered your instrument and know something about chords and scales, the sax is perfect for improvising solos.
What's the best way to learn to improvise?
If you already have some experience, knowing chords and pentatonic scales, listening to your idols, and trying to emulate solos is the best way to develop your improvisation skills and creativity. You need a good teacher to help you take the first steps; if you don't have any improvising experience yet.
Do I need to be able to read music to play the sax?
For almost any musical genre you want to play, being able to read music well is very useful. It's not difficult to learn, and you'll benefit enormously! If you just want to play by ear, that's also an option.
How many types of saxophones are there?
The most common saxophones are the soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, and bass saxophones. In addition, there are many other saxophones that are rarely played, but when played well, turn out to be fantastic instruments. Check out videos of Rahsaan Roland Kirk where he plays Spanish saxophones, like the Strich and the Manzello.
