Thank you!

[@WillChukwu]

Please do you have a clip for the 2nd octave on G major scale?

[@usmc2309]

I have a question: Some of the scales you provided include both the 1st and 2nd octaves. For example, the F Major scale has both. Should I practice both octaves together, or focus on the 1st octave first and come back to the 2nd later? What do you recommend?

[@Lifehacksdiy2.3]

[@markv9521]

Hey Alexander thanks for the video. Can you explain a pentatonic scale in a simple way? Getting quite confused with that

[@SaxophoneMasterclass]

Hi Mark I go into a lot more detail on the Pentatonic scale and how to use it (especially when improvising) inside my Saxophone Masterclass Membership. I do a have a video that breaks down the C Major Pentatonic scale here you can check out: www.saxophonemasterclass.com/blog/c-major-pentatonic

[@LilHaseProductions]

^Useless reply. Pentatonic scale isn't exactly a scale. It's basically 5 notes on an octave that are like "golden notes" and really good notes to play while improvising over a solo.

[@SaxophoneMasterclass]

You’re right, the pentatonic scale is made up of 5 notes. However, it definitely is a scale! You just have to define what kind of pentatonic scale it is. The most common are Major Pentatonic Scales and Minor Pentatonic Scales. The link above points to a step by step lesson on the Major Pentatonic scale and how it derives from the Major scale. Worth checking out if you want to know how they are formed. Here are the KZbin links: Major Pentatonic Scale: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6DUeIiPd6iSpa8 Minor Pentatonic Scale: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIvSn6yDfZtkn9E

[@Bluuplanet]

Hello, Alex My middle school granddaughter was showing me her saxophone on Christmas day and she played a scale. She said it was a G scale and the fingering she used for a G matched the pattern shown in her book. But the sounds that came out were a b flat scale. What's going on? Do they have her using a book for a different sax?

[@SaxophoneMasterclass]

Thanks for your comment! This is a great question and is completely normal. It is because the saxophone is what's called a "transposing instrument". I go into detail in this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYTRqZKcgMR2Y6c&t

[@Bluuplanet]

@@SaxophoneMasterclass Thank you for your reply. I think I understand the explanation but I think the whole approach to "transposing instruments" was ill conceived from the get-go. If different sized saxophones play different pitches with similar finger positioning, they simply should have said that you have to press different keys on this small instrument to get the same note as the on the larger instrument; a pitch of 440 cps should be an "A" regardless of the instrument it is played on.

[@SaxophoneMasterclass]

​@@Bluuplanet I totally understand where you are coming from! However, as a professional that plays all four saxes as well as flute, penny whistle, clarinet and other woodwind instruments - learning different fingerings/note names for each would be a nightmare when reading sheet music! Because of the transposition system in place it makes it so much easier to transition from one instrument to another while reading music which is VERY common when playing in orchestras or big bands.

[@Bluuplanet]

@@SaxophoneMasterclass I guess that makes sense to me now.... Learn to play on "C" instrument and have the sheet music printers compensate for the irregularities of different pitched instruments.

[@SaxophoneMasterclass]

@@Bluuplanet yup! Now the arrangers can deal with the problem!

Play the second octave with key G

[@SaxophoneMasterclass]

Yup!

[@yeayea4161]

i have no idea how to play the second octave sir

[@SaxophoneMasterclass]

Hi Joshua! If you're having trouble with getting into the higher octave, try practicing from C to D (with the octave key). I have video on how to practice those two notes as part of the "Saxophone From Scratch" playlist I have on KZbin. The next video in the playlist is how to play G Major Scale, which will help you with playing up higher into the second octave. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4aVaauprLmEl7c

[@Singlerity]

why the G sounds like Bb?

[@SaxophoneMasterclass]

Because the sax is a transposing instrument! Learn more about transposition here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYTRqZKcgMR2Y6c
