Hmmm…

Puns aside, while being one of the most versatile and interesting instruments, saxophone ranks up there with violin on my personal list of annoying instruments to listen to a beginner play. All reed instruments are challenging to learn to control, but saxophones are made of metal so they tend to be a lot louder. Plus there are a big potpourri of adequate for the purpose saxophone sounds and you might not be sure what to shoot for. It just doesn’t sound good when an individual picks up the horn for the initial time and starts honking and bending notes like they’re in galore kind of bad fifties rock band.

If you are just starting out and having trouble, the firstborn things I would commend are:

1) Have an individual who knows what they are doing check out your horn. It might not be your fault.

2) Another mutual problem is that beginners play on too soft a reed. You do want to get started out on something beauteous soft, but rank up as fast as you can. I don’t mean you will have to undertake and make playing a 5 your goal, that’s a terrible idea, but if you stick with a 1½ on a normal mouthpiece your tone will be thin and whiny forever.

That said, don’t stress out when it comes to the hardware. Everybody wants to own the fanciest looking ligature, and that may make a difference, but you may get better using what you’ve got. Practice.

As for what you will have to practice, that’s in truth the trick, isn’t it? Everybody says long tones. That is a good idea, but it doesn’t just mean play a few long notes until you get bored or your lip hurts. Long tones will help you build strength and control, but they are also the idealisti way to figure out how your instrument even works. Play notes high and low, earsplitting and soft, and make them sound good. Listen actually hard and alter what you are doing until they do sound good. Don’t be complacent when it comes to the process. Also, keeping a tuner going while you do this is a very good idea. The saxophone is not a perfective instrument and a heap of notes will be out of tune if you don’t learn to adjust.

That will improve your tone, now you need articulation. The main thing is to learn to start out and stop a note cleanly. That will give your sound definition and make everything much more musical. One problem galore humans develop is: they get the hang of tonguing and then they do it way to much. Learn the divergence among legato and staccato tonguing and when something will have to be slurred, let it. You don’t want to sound choppy.

There are a lot of nifty things you may do on a saxophone: vibrato, bending notes, overtones, enharmonic fingerings, growls, altissimo. The list goes on. But get the hang of the basi principles first, in particular when it comes to bending notes and vibrato. It won’t sound good if you don’t already have good tone and good intonation.

Good For the Price!
By Yecenia Castro
This sax turned out to be finelooking decent, looking at the low price. My son wanted his own saxophone, so we looked on Amazon.com for one. A Yamaha or Selmer sax would have been better, but they are very expensive. This is a great substitute for one of those highpriced saxophones. It sounded closely as good as his rental, which was a Vito Sax. I would definitly commend this saxophone!
