Thanks

[@rubysharmonyrockett]

I played oboe in the past and now learning alto sax. This video is a great tool. But when I try to practice the lower notes, I just get a squawk. Future lesson?

[@Rossfielding1]

I don't own a saxophone but here i am :D

[@thelewis2898]

I've rented one and I have to say, it's awesome. It's so loud though, I live in a small house and I still feel like I'm bothering my neighbors...that being said I really recommend it, it's a lot of fun.

[@Metqa]

@@thelewis2898 Oh my yes. I didn't realize how loud it would be. I just blew on the mouth piece alone and send my cats scrambling! LOL. Well, I don't feel too bad because some of my neighbors regularly serenade us with their BOOM cars at 10:30pm every night and nobody complains about that. But I hope my good neighbor next door(with whom I share a common wall : duplex) doesn't object to the random goose honking! I'm trying to keep it a secret until I can at least play a tiny bit but that may not be possible! I hope I can have fun with it like you suggest. BTW: I didn't know you could rent-a-sax! I just bought one from Walmart.

[@puretestosterone2373]

Same knowing me I would stop playing after a week but im still interested in watching

[@p.vimala8335]

We have to change reed after used once?

[@puretestosterone2373]

Hi Jeremy. I am an adult male 50+ years old who had never played a musical instrument or tried to learn anyrhing musical. 2 years ago I purchased your Beginner Series and started my journey. I am now fairly competent in reading sheet music. I have played in church a few times and played at my father's funeral last month. It's all thanks to your series (and exactly 5 sessions with a teacher to help prepare for 2 performances). Thanks Jeremy, thanks Sax Tuition. You have helped make my dream of playing the saxophone come true. I have a long way to go, but I have a sound (pardon the pun) foundation to build on. I highly recommend Sax Tuition Beginner Series.

[@DuncanBattersby]

Brill imnew tooilisren to series too

[@benicio1967]

WOW!! Your comment was so moving. That had to take so much heart to play for your father’s services. Please accept my condolences for such a profound loss. That was truly a memorable gift you gave to yourself and to him being able to play an instrument that has meant so much to you over the years. My lifelong dream has been to learn the saxophone. I am currently looking around for one myself. I wish you much success and continued reward in playing an incredible instrument. You’ve really encouraged me. Thank you for that. I’m so glad I found this channel. What a blessing. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@tuliosan9399]

Ngl, this was by far the best beginner video for any instrument on youtube

[@joelmongeon3685]

bruh I haven’t played in almost 5 years and couldn’t make a sound on this sax I just bought. Literally one sentence about cold air vs hot air fixed the problem lmao, thank you

[@YashSharma-dy1si]

hey , im a beginner and when i try to blow hot air it dosent make any sound because it dosent have any pressure......please help

[@alyaagad2958]

This man should be teaching everything in the world.

[@annachipch2308]

My son struggles with concentration and has Dyslexia but he was absolutely glued to your Lesson 1. In lockdown it is so hard for him to find anything to get excited and proud about but the enthusiasm he brought to your lessons made my heart glow so thanks.

[@SaxTuition]

Thank you Anna! I’m so glad to hear that, I hope your son loves learning the saxophone 😊 Feel free to reach out if you have any questions - Jeremy

[@komikermohammed]

That's beautiful!!!!

[@rehanhakim4041]

Man, I don't even own a Saxophone...lol..I don't even know how I got here from watching guitar tutorials, somehow I'm now subscribed and motivated to get one. All just because this guy has the definite energy of a Guru.

[@joandellarocca2598]

been thinking about playing the sax for years. No experience whatsoever but this has given me the courage to start!

[@SaxTuition]

Fantastic Joan! That’s so great to hear 👍

[@mohammadaltohamy3107]

Hit like if you think this gentleman is the music teacher goals 💯👏🏾

[@SaxTuition]

Thanks Mohammad, that's very kind of you! I'm glad you found the lesson useful 👍

[@caroldash1295]

brilliant first lesson - so clear and well explained, i had been having difficulty getting started but now feel inspired to practice, thanks

[@SaxTuition]

That’s fantastic Carol - I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Have fun 😊

[@isaacdestinyagbenyi4848]

A simplified lesson every beginner needs to have.

[@christinemartinez8244]

I played the clarinet in school and have wanted to play the saxophone ever since someone told me that it is easy to learn the sax because they are very similar. I am turning 50 soon and think it's time to cross it off my bucket list. I am not sure if I will get a used or new 🎷

[@kaitomaiorino9425]

THANK YOU SO MUCH I THOUGHT MY SAX WAS BROKEN

[@rl3443]

Thank you for the inspiration. I dont own a sax yet and have never played any instrument but the sax calls to me. I sure hope I can learn. Thank you for your time good sir.

[@tellysims]

Did you end up buying one?

[@rosactaylor]

My son has a family of saxophone, 2 alto sax, 1 tenor and 1 soprano. My husband hired a soprano for me. You are right, its not easy to get soprano in tune but I think learning from scratch would help me. So, your lesson 1 is great. Thank you. I like your exercises. See you again.

[@gajanankale3675]

I'm from India and recently purchased the instrument. Thanks for the information that created more interest in the music and instruments playing.

[@milele7703]

Thank goodness I clicked on your channel because I was looking to learn the Alto saxophone and was wondering where to begin. You teach so well, making everything look so doable. It's official, I love your channel and will begin my lessons today. I'll keep you posted on my progress. Thanks for sharing.

[@emipopescu3257]

This is awesome. If i only had a teacher like that!

[@Chris-nn1cq]

Been planning to start learning sax. I am obsessed

[@marcialynnukulele]

I’ve owned a saxophone more than half my life, and thanks to your video I’m finally able to play it!

[@Corrieography]

I played Tuba/Sousaphone from middle school to senior HS. But was always curious about the sax, but never had any opportunities to learn it. Here I am at 32 and about to purchase one. Thanks for the early lessons before I actually buy it.

[@bankolemorgan1209]

Thank you very much for such a wonderful lesson. Have purchased my saxophone for a year plus, yet struggling to learn how to play it.

[@SaxTuition]

My pleasure! If you’re interested, you can find out more about the Beginner Series here www.saxtuition.com/beginner-series

[@AbeExcursus]

I haven’t played my Sax in years! And not regularly since jr. high band… this lesson has inspired me to break it out! Thanks for the refresher! I’m sure to be back on the channel!

[@SaxTuition]

Fantastic to hear! Glad it inspired you - you won’t regret it 😁

[@giovanni3057]

I have been playing clarinet for 2 yrs and wanted to make a change so this summer im switching my clarinet for sax and learning before school starts and be ready for band level 2

[@taniaharris142]

SAME DUDE (btw watching the vid on moms acc XD)

[@MertonDJ]

58, thought I would buy a Sax, as you do. Three days in and your description on how to breathe into the mouth piece has made a massive difference. Just need to find an optimal position to hold the Sax and then I will be getting started. Many thanks.

[@DPHMUSIC.]

I'm coming back to woodwinds after 3 years tomorrow. Played Clarinet for 4 years, switched to Trumpet and now I'm in college and I've fallen in love with the Tenor Sax sound (particularly from John Coltrane). I'm super excited, video explains everything great!

[@texashazzard7606]

I've had a sax for a few years but haven't taken time to learn so going back to the start is good for me and ur lessons are good

[@madmaximilian5783]

I'm just starting out playing the saxophone and I really appreciate your lessons, I also play the bass and guitar. I just retired and love and enjoy playing as many instruments as I can.

[@thehighergoddess5240]

I’m new to playing sax and found this first lesson so informative and easy to understand / follow. Thank you so much 🙏🏻💜 I’ve subscribed and look forward to learning more 🎷🎷🎷

[@scoop1871]

I’m so glad I ran across your video! My husband played some saxophone in high school but hasn’t played in many years, but I play piano by ear and have always wanted to learn sax, so I unburied his saxophone out of the basement and put it together, but I couldn’t even get a sound to come out other than blowing air 😂 I am laughing at all the things I did wrong after watching your video and look forward to trying again tomorrow to see if I can actually get a sound! That would be a good start lol

[@imeth.rajakaruna]

I wanted a saxophone for years. Finally got one. Great tutorial. All learned by you... Thanx a lot for the tutorial. Waiting for more tutorials. 😍

[@vvbanks]

This was an OUTSTANDING lesson for my 11 yr old! Bravo!!

[@Fr33Th1nk3rs]

Best lesson ever, Thank you so much for your efforts , very helpful to start my journey with Saxophone

[@annettesomers7463]

I don't own a saxophone 🎷 either but I'm going to get one. Especially now that I know theory arpeggios, triads on my guitar. I love the saxophone sound. Wish me luck! Great lessons!

[@liciernagadelanoche2337]

Hey, how is it going?

[@sandeepsreehari4687]

A very detailed and informative tutorial video. I have always wanted to learn to play a brass instrument and the Sax hits the jackpot. Thanks a lot for the tutorial.

[@mmk2919]

Just bought a sax, excited to get started and follow through your lessons

[@iulianvamanu1875]

Amazing first lesson. I just started practicing, well it’s very difficult of course, but hopefully I will learn. Thank you for the lesson!

[@ArlosInsanity]

I’m trying to decide whether to learn violin or saxophone next so ty!

[@wilmothutson1140]

I am a advanced saxophone player, and I enjoyed watching your video👍

[@JesusisAlive_33]

Best saxophone lesson, i fell in love wirh this instrument by listen to careless whisper by a saxophone, so i am learning some stuff before buying one 😁

[@Greebstreebling]

Thanks, I found this very helpful returning to my Tenor Sax after a long break. :) :)

[@wyndhleodumegwu253]

Premiere Lecon est bien excellente. Merci beaucoup, mon ami!

[@cstacy]

04:38 is where you can best see how on the ligature, the bigger ring is on the bottom. The ligature is like a cone: the narrow ring is on the inside-your-lips end of the mouthpiece. (In case you were only 80% sure of how that is supposed to be assembled, like me. :))

[@angelagibson983]

This was a good first lesson! Thanks for the detailed explanations

[@marshallcartledge907]

I don’t know anything about saxophone playing, but this is an excellent presentation.

[@manjubinduhewa1177]

Many many tks for ur clear, friendly, valuable instructions

[@latinmez]

Excellent lesson, thanks! Getting my first sax in a few weeks

[@opallaf]

The best intro to sax

[@Salty24]

My daughters bought me a sax on Amazon so I'm giving it a go. First session very squeeky and all over the place with tone. Sax came with 2.5 no name reeds so gonna try some 1.5 Rico reeds and see if that helps. Thanks and lets learn.

[@SaxTuition]

Definitely Armando, don’t trust the no name reeds! Check out the Tone Tips series for more help getting a consistent tone, particularly this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmXbamOujZqgjZY

[@professorbaker420]

Thank you so much for these lessons. I love you. ❤ I’m trying to start today.. I’ve played piano and guitar in the past. Any help would be wonderful. Going to make some great videos! If I can figure this sax out! 😅

[@patrickhall2532]

best beginner series I've come across! Just got my grandfather's old sax and can't wait to dive in. Your teaching style is straight to the point and easily engaging. Definitely choosing your channel and online series to go down the rabbit hole. quick question about your gear, can you share a link for your sax case? Mine is super old and we dig yours. **also can you maybe link directly to "theory basics", that pulls up everything on a google search lol... Cheers :D

[@jhonnyrodriguez3198]

Hi, I play Latin percussions since age 14. Am now 44, and sax has always interested me. I once’s picked it up by myself, but stopped because my sax leaked air. Now that I found this channel, I will try again. Thank you

[@BigZola]

10/10 Well explained, loud and clear!

[@clementbraimah2001]

Thanks sir just subbed will be getting my sax in a month time

[@damionyoung1871]

Thanks for this lesson, it was a great help. I'm not finding lesson two.

[@SaxTuition]

Hey Damion, the rest of the course (12 lessons) is available here: www.saxtuition.com/beginner-series

[@samos4924]

Took a huge dive and ordered a sax (Albeit, a very cheap one relatively.) as I've wanted to play for 22 years. I've played the clarinet for all that time, I was in the school band from years 3-11, so hopefully I can at the very least get a sound out of it pretty quickly! The fingering looks a bit less complicated than clarinet fingering too. They always told me it was easier to go from clarinet to sax than the other way around, so, I'm gonna put that to the test! 😅

[@jinguahira8356]

Yes. Recommended teacher.

[@bankolemorgan5255]

Hi Boss, I'm Bankole C E Morgan, from Freetown, Sierra Leone. I love Sax so much that have purchased it. Thanks so much for your beginner's class. Yet I'm finding it difficult to play it. Just imagining when I will be playing like you, my dream though. Regards and thanks so much

Hello, just got an alto sax after 8 years of not playing! So excited I found your channel. Are there any apps that can turn any song or audio into sax sheet music? There is so much rare music I wanna play and lots of the apps don’t have it 😢

[@juangills4702]

A useful lesson for all saxophone players

[@ethanpunto9222]

I was thinking of trying to learn saxophone because i have a deep love for jazz and already play jazz piano and jazz guitar amongst other genres but i was curious once you're able to form quality notes how easy is it to play in tune? I picked violin up again after many years having not played since childhood and after a year or so i found i just really cannot enjoy the process regarding how much time you have to dedicate to intonation. I understand of course any instrument needs significant time and effort to make progress with but if its anything like the violin i fear i will be wasting my time (and potentially the time of any teachers if i go down that route)

[@emmanuelwilliammilanzi4732]

you are such a great teacher!

[@cajoyandfriends6007]

What if one lacks the upper front teeth for the proper holding of the Saxophone mouth piece? Would this be a barrier to learning to play a Saxophone? Thank you.
