Most people can learn sax in about 1-2 months to learn from a basic level. I'm no muso, I came at this as an intermediate guitar of 6 years playing. Now im six months down the rabbit hole and truly now understand that to master a sax is a different level but such a fun challenge. im so happy with my progress

[@rileywu5194]

You convinced me to get a sax!

[@SaxTuition]

That’s awesome Emma! 👏

[@shealinbanta4169]

Speaking to what you said, your are right because it takes a lot of practice to become good at something. I remember wishing I could pick up the trumpet easily, but hey, I still have to keep practicing in order to become good at it like I am with the drums and saxophone.

[@vivianastridge2167]

As someone how has been actively engaged with saxophones and saxophonists for more than fifty years I can confirm that the instrument is in fact the easiest instrument to learn to play. Playing the instrument is one thing but playing it so that others enjoy listening is quite another matter. No instrument including the most expensive, the most expensive mouthpiece and reed can assure a beautiful sound. There are just a handful of saxophonists who have managed fortuitously to produce a sound that has quite rightly earned them the admiration and respect, fame and fortune that has been showered upon them.There are possibly an infinite number of considerations, factors and circumstances that have contributed to the total success of these few instrumentalists the most important being the total of anatomical features dental , oral, lingual, larynx etc etc with which these favored few have been blessed with. I myself despite the very best and most expensive being available to me just will never be able to achieve even the shadow of the greatness of the Greats.

[@harleytepania3188]

My grandfather played this instrument. Woman melt over this instrument!

[@USAIRFORCE621]

Actually finding this video was a Godsend as the Sax is the instrument I'm looking to learn next. I've played both trumpet and trombone but you really have to have a lot of good breath to make a sound, to know the the sax doesn't require as much is a relief and to see its not as temperamental as other woodwinds, looking forward to getting into it soon!

[@mattePRL]

I wanted to upgrade my DSLR this month, but having watched a few of your videos made me think there are other toys I'd play with. A few years ago I had little affair with guitar, but playing it didn't give me that feeling you have when you do something you love.

[@cjsamtab7]

I recall back in 1980, the toughest was the amboucher; getting your lips to clamp down firm enough but not too firmly, for the reed to vibrate in order to produce a note.

[@rhamses]

Wow. I grew up with everybody saying the sax would be a nightmare to learn. You start change my mind because. Thanks

I’ve been playing music for a little over 2 years (guitar, bass and dabbling in piano) and I always love when people add horns to their songs, and I wanted to do the same. I was originally thinking trumpet but sax is so much more expressive and beautiful (IMHO)

[@DJ_TideWave]

I bought a trumpet last year, but returned it as I struggled a lot with getting a decent sound out of it. I had trouble getting the correct embouchure. Maybe it was my mouth or my teeth, I am not sure, but man that instrument is hard to learn! I also think I was lacking strength in my chin muscles. I bought an Akai EWI Solo instead "cheating" with digital sampled sounds by just blowing and biting the mouth piece to create a vibrato. Now you have convinced me to buy a sax as I think it would be easier for me to learn. As I can´t spend a lot of money, will a $300 sax be something to start to learn on? Any suggestion for that price range? I know the sound will be better for more expensive sax, but I don´t want to spend a lot of money first. Maybe buying a sax that I can afford to start learning and then buy a better one later. I produce a lot of music and I can add some reverb in post production etc.

Hey, I'm playing trumpet, I would like to learn saxophone, but there's a question I have. When playing trumpet, to get a higher note, you have to squeeze your lips, like for reaching C3, does saxophone have C3,C4..... or it only has like C1-C3? Thank you

[@carolynking4828]

Hi there dear Jeremy, just one quick question for you. How do you get clear high notes on the soprano sax please? Mine sound like a sick parrot at the moment, really squawky and horrible to listen to!! Just not speaking right!!

Does it hurt or tickle your teeth? I come from upright bass and piano and wand to get into sax

[@stewiec42]

thank you so much. I am looking to get a sax, I am leaning towards Tenor; TS710, TB600, OTS800 or the SET400. Could you help with recommendations?

[@SaxTuition]

My pleasure! I haven't actually played any of those saxophones specifically so unfortunately I can't give any recommendations for those particular models, but in general, I like to recommend the Yamaha saxophones (particularly second hand YTS-23, YTS-26 and YTS-100) as being the best overall value and quality for beginners.

Take it in to a shop that works on saxes and they'll take a look. It will probably need new valve seals and such

What kind of saxophone would you suggest to purchase to be best suitable for playing Jazz? And for beginners as well? Thanks!

[@MrChucklepuff]

Thank you for this video. I wanted to play the saxophone but the band director at my school wouldn't allow me to unless I played clarinet for a year. I was a young 6th grader so this led me to go a different path and play the trumpet. I played it for 7 years and liked it, but it just became. too difficult for me to play the high notes. I never could figure out how to get my lips to do what I wanted them to do and eventually quit the instrument my junior year. I am 36 now and often wish I could play the saxophone. I am glad I found this channel and maybe it can help me start to teach myself the instrument. I have been reading reviews on saxophones. It has led me to the Yamaha YAS-280. What do you think about that? Thanks again!

[@SaxTuition]

Hey Charlie, so glad you're finding your way back to the saxophone! The YAS-280 is a fantastic choice, check out the review here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4nShYSki99plck

Sax is harder than violin ?

[@juliaf_]

Sax is definitely super easy to pick up. The worst part is simply not wrecking your reed, which isn't too hard. But it gets sooo hard from there. It's easy to play the notes, but breath support and tone take a long time to develop, and that's still ignoring overtones and altissimo
