@kennethmccamish40928 жыл бұрын
+Night Raid He is playing an alto in the video but since it's not in the original key anyway you could play it on any sax. The way to tell alto from tenor in videos where the size isn't easy to see is to look at the neck. A straight neck is an alto and a slightly curved neck is a tenor. ( of course bari is easy to see)

The sax is quite an easy instrument to start on but like many other instruments, mastering it takes a lifetime! To play a song like careless whisper well? You could have the notes under your fingers within a week of regular practice but it's unlikely to sound great until you've developed a solid tone and consistent sound which could take anywhere from 1 day to several years! Everything in good time! The most important thing is enjoying yourself while you do it and picking it up regularly.

Yeah absolutely, you'll find most professional players tighten up their technique when it is needed and then become more flamboyant on easier passages. As you are developing its very important to keep your technique as tight as possible :) Thanks for the comment ^^

Yep, some people can and it's a great skill. I find many people need a helping hand though, there is enough to be thinking about when first starting out on Sax. These videos are merely here to get people playing tunes asap so that they might carry on playing to the stage when they can work out songs for themselves. There is always the option of pausing after the demo, have a go, then compare your version with the version I teach too :-) Best wishes, DC

Hi Smet, Taking up the sax can be quite daunting but don't worry, just enjoy the experience and let your sound and ability develop over time. Allow yourself the time to make mistakes and the odd squeak. But enjoy the journey. It'll be worth it in the end my friend! DC

Hi Cely, Absolutely. The difference between beginner and intermediate saxes is the refinement in tuning, response, build and resistance of the tube. An intermediate sax off the starting blocks won't hinder you but it will mean that you can probably stick with that same saxophone for a lot longer. DC

If you like quality musicianship and lots of instruments playing off one another, then I recommend the whole album (The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life) highly. If possible, get yourself the US version, as it has an extra track in the form of a reggae/mariachi version of Ravel's Bolero.

I'm definitely go for an Alto first, there is the most repertoire available for it. Then you can eventually move to other members of the family when you feel ready. That said, you really should buy whatever you feel you'll play the most. Brands in order of preference in my opinion: Yamaha (275 or 25 are brilliant first instruments), Selmer (Expensive make sure its a Paris), Yanigasawa, Keilworth. Get hold of a second hand yamaha, you cant go wrong :-) Sorry for the delay!
