    So happy! I knew absolutely NOTHING about how to play a saxophone because I'm a brass player. Thanks for the tutorial :) I made my first sound! I was so amazed, thank you!

    Thanks mate, I couldn't get a bloody sound out of it, but listening and watching you explain in a simple and understandable way has helped me get a sound. Right, now I'll try it with the neck attached to the saxophone, cheers.

      Hi Keyo...Glad to see your getting to grips with sound production. Make sure you get to see a teacher as there is so much you can learn and fine tune face to face. Keep blowing...G

    doesn't matter how i put my lips or how hard/soft i blow. it's just making an airy sound. occasionally it sounds like my sax is going through puberty but it isn't a smooth sound. help?

      Ear plugs. And blow. Stand in the closet away from.the dog. It'll take more directed air than you think. Less once you've done it more.

  • @Mgaby1992
    @Mgaby1992 7 років тому +3

    I got the sound a minute after playing it for the first time. I understand how to make the sound, but my struggle is how to position my top teeth. Is it just biting down? because i actually kinda bit down a bit hard that it scratched the top of it. Am i suppose to do that or do i just place it down?? I'm a bit confused.

    I can't even get a sound from mine. Looks like there's a slightly used sax for sale.

    the greatest success that i've had was by following the Takiras Music Method (i found it on google) definately the most useful idea that I have ever tried.

    Dont forget to be realistic - you'll have to do some work whichever plan you follow for learning sax I have spent months studying how to play saxophone and found a great website at Takiras Music Method (google it if you're interested)

      at the 3/4 position you might need to squeeze the reed and mouthpiece a tiny bit go from the edge till you find the flexible part of the reed you may need to wet the reed with the tongue and make sure tongue is at the bottom of the mouth as the air flow will be affected just go for air first then the tongue part start it moving then get the tongue to stop the reed by closing it or pushing it up to the mouth piece
