Hold the
note.

Here you play an alto saxophone in E♭. Press a step and hold it: the note sounds as long as you “blow”, with breath and vibrato. The steps show the fingered note; it sounds a major sixth lower. Glide across the steps for runs. Keyboard: 1 to 8.

Lessons in detail

How your saxophone lessons work.

The first lessons

Embouchure on the mouthpiece, breathing from the belly and your first notes, usually in the very first lesson. Then come the fingerings for your first scales and little melodies.

Over time

Tone and timbre, articulation, the instrument's full range, and improvising over jazz standards, pop songs, soul and funk.

For kids and adults

Most kids can start from around age 8, depending on dental development, often on the alto saxophone. Adults love how quickly the saxophone starts to sound like real music.

Practising at home

Reeds of the right strength make all the difference, and your teacher will advise you. Short daily breathing and tone exercises help the most.
