Progressive Beginner Saxophone assumes you have no prior knowledge of music or playing the saxophone. This book is suitable for anyone who wants to learn to play the saxophone. No previous musical knowledge or experience is necessary, the book will teach you the basics of saxophone playing and reading music. Each new note and technique is introduced separately, and all musical examples sound great and are fun to play. The book also features a chart listing all the note fingerings for the saxophone. All saxophone players should know all of the information contained in this book.
On completion of this book, you will be ready to begin improvising and playing with other musicians and will already be able to play many tunes and be making great sounds. For an introduction to the sounds and techniques of Rock, Blues and Funk playing, see Progressive Rock Saxophone.
The best and fastest way to learn is to use this book in conjunction with:
- Buying sheet music and song books of your favorite recording artists and learning to play their songs. By learning songs, you will begin to build a repertoire and always have something to play in jam sessions.
- Practicing and playing with other musicians. You will be surprised how good a basic drums/bass/guitar/keyboard/saxophone combination can sound even when playing easy music.
- Learning by listening to your favorite recordings. Start building a collection of albums of players you admire or wish to emulate. Try playing along with one of them for a short time each day. Most of the great saxophone players have learned a lot of their music this way.
In the early stages of learning, it is also helpful to have the guidance of an experienced teacher. This will also help you keep to a schedule and achieve weekly goals. To help you develop a good sense of time it is recommended that you always practice with a metronome or drum machine.
There are four basic types of saxophones: Alto, Tenor, Baritone and Soprano. The two most common are the Tenor and the Alto. Saxophones are fairly expensive to buy new, so you may want to hire one until you are sure you are going to persevere with it. Many music stores have good saxophones to rent, and some also have hire purchase plans.
If you are buying a second hand instrument, there are a couple of things to look out for. First make sure there are no dents, bends or cracks in the instrument, as this will affect the tuning.
Also check for leakage by playing over the range of the instrument to see whether you can get all the notes to sound properly. If possible, have a professional check out the instrument before you buy it.
The reed is attached to the mouthpiece and vibrates to create a sound when you blow. Most reeds are made of cane, although it is possible to buy synthetic reeds. To begin with, you will probably need to use a fairly soft reed such as a 1 or 1 . As your lips and facial muscles develop you will be able to play with harder reeds. The higher the number on the reed, the thicker it is, making it harder to play but also producing a stronger tone.
The choice of reeds is a fairly personal thing. When selecting a new reed, make sure it has no cracks around the tip and is not warped. These things can make it difficult or impossible to get a good sound.
From the beginning you should set yourself a goal. Many people learn saxophone because of a desire to play like their favorite artist (e.g., Maceo Parker), or to play a certain style of music (e.g., Rock, Blues, Funk, Jazz, etc.). Motivations such as these will help you to persevere through the more difficult sections of work. As your playing develops it will be important to adjust and update your goals.
It is important to have a correct approach to practice. You will benefit more from several short practices (e.g., 15-30 minutes per day) than one or two long sessions per week. This is especially so in the early stages, because of the basic nature of the material being studied and also because your lips and facial muscles are still developing.
If you want to become a great player you will obviously have to practice more as time goes on, but it is still better to work on new things a bit at a time. Get one small piece of information and learn it well before going on to the next topic. Make sure each new thing you learn is thoroughly worked into your playing. This way you won't forget it, and you can build on everything you learn. To be sure you develop a good sense of time, always practice with a metronome.
In a practice session you should divide your time evenly between the study of new material and the revision of past work. It is a common mistake for semi-advanced students to practice only the pieces they can already play well. Although this is more enjoyable, it is not a very satisfactory method of practice. You should also try to correct mistakes and experiment with new ideas. It is the authors belief that the guidance of an experienced teacher will be an invaluable aid in your progress.
