I LOVE YOU!! This is this first video I’ve found that said beginner and actually treated me like a beginner rather than a person who already knew my notes! Thank you! I’m 53 and I completely suck (today is my first day) but I will absolutely stick with it until I rock! Again, thank you!
Lol our school did when we were in third grade then in fourth grade we do guitar fifth grade we did piano and then we got to middle school you got to choose my instrument you got to play from the band
Hi teacher, I'm turning 75 early next month. You really got me interested to learn to play the saxophone. Getting a 2nd hand Jupiter Alto saxophone tomorrow. Your method of teaching is very precise. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. My oldest wanted to learn sax during covid but had no patience for music class. Your lessons have been amazing and really helped inspire and further his interest. God speed.
This was so helpful!!! Thank you so much! I’m 12 and am going into 7th grade, I plan on joint band and playing the alto sax. I want to prep myself before I start band by already knowing a few notes and this was so helpful!
I’m a student in band and i started sax about a month ago. I’m VERY VERY flat and my teacher has considered taking me out. your video is helping me understand what to actually do correctly ❤
Sir... I have had my 🎷 sax for 3 weeks now . And all the videos I have watched.. yours sir have been the most helpful!!! THANK YOU 🙏 LEARNING B,C,D is such an accomplishment.From Houston tx.. sir I appreciate this video.
Uhhh @Marybeth O, if she doesn’t want to play, she doesn’t want to play. It might wreck the experience in band, and I think you don’t want that. She’s probably not going to want to play and that would probably make you mad.
@Marybeth O You're right, they are a better parent than you. Stop making your child play music if they don't want to. They can make their own decisions. If you don't respect that, maybe you should reconsider putting your child through everything you want them to.
I literally just started today cause my mom gave me a Sax for my birthday bc I’ve alway thought it is an amazing instrument, and this video really helped me a lot. The first time I tried a sax I wasn’t even able to make it sound 😂 I’m a guitar player btw, so a complete different instrument is a lot of fun!
Thank you teacher Ramon!!!!, I´m from Mexico, I´m living in Mexico City, i´m 43 years old but I´m very glad that even my age I´m starting to learn saxofon!!!! And to can find really good teachers like you!!!! In fact I'm also about to get my English diploma jajaja Blessings!!!!
Dear grate sir. Thanking from Sri Lanka.I received this 1st lesson from you. Yesterday only i bought a sax even without knowing how to hold it. But i know that now. God bless u dear sir.(2024)❤
I just got my sax today!! I started with flute, but because my school does jazz band, I wanted to be featured more so I got a saxophone !! I’m sooo hyped to start learning!!
This is a great help! Today was my first day playing an instrument EVER, but you treated me like I didn't know anything (which I didn't) and this really helped me. Thank you!
Thank you! Great introduction. Only 52 years since I last played - my parents sold my sax when I left home to go to university. A new one arrives ........ tomorrow!! Or Wednesday? Can't wait.
Hi Ramon. I've just rented an alto saxophone to try out, and see whether I enjoy it. I'm coming from the flute, so having that experience is an asset, even though the fingerings are not inter-changeable. I just wanted to let you know that this lesson alone, was more descriptive and helpful for me than a dvd I purchased along with the rental sax. For that, you should be proud. You cover what to do, how to do it, and what you may encounter as a first-timer.
My 10 year old son has enjoyed your video!! He got his saxophone and has now been practicing B, C, and D all evening!! Your video is by far the most helpful in finger placement, part names and just overall beginner friendly! We also wanted to congratulate you on your weight loss!! Absolutely incredible!! We did want to ask if you had any other resources you would recommend for alto saxophones? Any sheet music for beginners or channels, other videos etc! We would also pay for lessons, but we live in such a rural area, that there's not a music teacher or trainer for his instrument! Thank you in advance! Happy New year and best wishes!!!
Thank you for your lesson on playing these three notes on the saxophone. I just bought an Alto Saxophone, and this is the lesson that I am going to use to get started with my saxophone note playing and exercise.
Just subscribe to your channel!!! You truly explain it very well!!!! I’m 28 and and started to play the 🎷 thanks so much!!!!! Im glad I came across the right person!!! Hands down 🙌🏽
Started learning to play the sax some couple of months. I was almost giving up till today I stumbled into this great teacher, I am staying right here. 😊 Thanks Ramon, you're the teacher I have been looking for.
Thanks Ramon, I am 57 and I got my first sax a couple of weeks ago, to be honest I did not even knew from wich side to blow, thanks for making it simple.
This is a great video. I’ve purchased my first 🎷 and it will arrive tomorrow. I’m so excited to learn to play it for the first time and I’ll be watching your videos for some tips of course 😊
Hey man I gotta say thanks. I’m in college and I’m taking woodwind tech and sax was giving me a rediculous amount of trouble. Turns out I was pressing the wrong keys in the left hand and your video showed me I was. You’re a g man
picked up a sax from a garage sale intending it for my daughter. tried and got the hang of it =) guess that's my sax now. thank you for sharing! So.... where's lesson 2?
When learning clarinet in 6th grade (with a sax player at the same time), the teacher had us just get used to the producing smooth tones and "tonguing" with the reed/mouthpiece only... bypassing a lot of squeaking... ;-)
I'm currently considering my first wind instrument ever (I've been playing keyboards for 50 and guitars for almost 40 years, so there's some foundation anyway... 😜) and it will be an alto saxophone. This is the first video I found that starts at level "total noob" and no doubt I'll refer to it often once I get tootin'! 😀🙏
Thanks. This video really helped. It’s my second day every handling the Saxophone and I was able to play the B, C, and D notes. Although I run out of air easily but I guess that will get better with time. What can I do to enhance that though ?
Hi! We love your approach to teaching! Our son plays the saxophone. I wanted to know if you would add more videos, so that our son can continue to progress with the Sax?
Thanks allot for making this video. I checked several tutors and musicians, this one is the best..no time wasted and no prolonged conversations. Just perfect. Cheers
Rent one if you can, if not, a saxophone is a saxophone but smaller ones will be cheaper. I bought an alto sax in great condition, used, for €400, that's fairly cheap. Just make sure to play it before you buy it
Thanks bro! Used to play in Elementary and High School! I’m 34 now and have a sax again! Ready for lesson two! I got my mouth position and sound on point!
Been looking to get back playing my sax after over 30 yrs started playing in the 4 grade, l had the pleasure of playing alto, tenor and baritone sax as well. Nice video to get back started, not to much content out there that is good.. Starting over at 62….
I admire those that took this instrument up - at nearing 59 I think sticking with guitar is what I will do. Thanks, wish all luck on this one!! MAKE MUSIC no matter what!
i've wanted to play saxophone since seventh grade but was forced to do clarinet. As much as I love my clarinet and will continue to play it leisurely, I'm finally able to pick up saxophone at twenty years old. when i started i had to experiment with emboucher to get the right sound and figure out how to tune. the mouthpiece positioning was helpful XD I struggle the most with memorizing fingerings as i have a learning disability that makes it difficult but other than that I love the instrument and I'm excited to keep learning
Just started today. I am 76! This is going to be a great help thank you
Good luck! I'm thinking about starting to play the saxophone soon as well.
@@dangerdan2592 thank you. Have a go. I have got to au claire de la lune
Good man, i just turned 60 and picked up the Sax for the first time... its a shame there's no good teachers!
@@pluckyew297 It is a shame. I looked for someone local to help me start but could not find anyone
Brian Tack I’m 12 lol
Him: ok, try it yourself
Me with no sax: 👀👀 .... tooot tooot tooot
shietta lashe

William Ramirez please just get lessons, this isn’t a great tutorial
jake leyni Not everyone can afford lessons
Mee tooo
I LOVE YOU!! This is this first video I’ve found that said beginner and actually treated me like a beginner rather than a person who already knew my notes! Thank you! I’m 53 and I completely suck (today is my first day) but I will absolutely stick with it until I rock!
Again, thank you!
How is your progress like and what kind of saxophone can I buy as a beginner also?
How have you been?
@@t.elijah36 u u u u. u uh uuu
Just turned 52 and I'm a beginner too... I WILL eventually rock as well.... :)
update?
Just started today....I am 57 years old.......THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saxe aniline
Dude, I just wanna play Careless Whisper
Just practice , you might just be the one that plays sax for a living.
It’s easy
Nina Santana I learned that in 2 days and I’m only 12 it’s easy like i also leaned other song easily
Do u want the notes ?
aww man, that would be great
Saxophones are awesome instruments, I started playing at nine years old and now at thirteen looking back at this video was pretty fun, thanks!
“Don’t breathe after every note” HaHaHa I dO tHaT
Human Being 😂😂😂😂😂😂
it's called tonguing
ٰ breathing isn’t called tonguing
Flute Player 123 that’s not what tonguing is
Flute Player 123 tonguing is when you use your tongue to play the notes lmao
Him: Remember your recorder class
Me who's somehow never had recorder class: ...
Lol our school did when we were in third grade then in fourth grade we do guitar fifth grade we did piano and then we got to middle school you got to choose my instrument you got to play from the band
Got my Alto Sax just a while ago, can't wait to start playing some dope Jazz!!!
Tbh, imma just play careless whispers once I get the basics down!
good luck! i play the trombone for my band and im looking forward to learning the alto sax as my new hobby
Thanks! Best of luck to you too! :D
WILLOWS PILLOW !
Hi do you know what exact type of saxophone it is?
Yo hows it been? I started playing about 8 months ago
Hi teacher, I'm turning 75 early next month. You really got me interested to learn to play the saxophone. Getting a 2nd hand Jupiter Alto saxophone tomorrow. Your method of teaching is very precise. Thank you.
Can you play yet? Im starting saxophone for band club and i feel like i wont be able to pay attention because of my short span😔
How's it going?
Thank you. Thank you. My oldest wanted to learn sax during covid but had no patience for music class. Your lessons have been amazing and really helped inspire and further his interest. God speed.

my entire class doesn't listen and I have to help this kid that doesn't know anything im saying
If you're flat I don't think that's a problem with you I'm sure it's the instrument
Sir... I have had my 🎷 sax for 3 weeks now . And all the videos I have watched.. yours sir have been the most helpful!!! THANK YOU 🙏 LEARNING B,C,D is such an accomplishment.From Houston tx.. sir I appreciate this video.
This is just great! I used to play the sax when i was 10 years old. I'm 26 now but still remember this lesson.
RAAAAAAAAAAAA
Thanks, just started playing my sons Alto Sax , he's having a 'teenage 'I'm off music' moment so It's my turn. Really helpful video
Uhhh @Marybeth O, if she doesn’t want to play, she doesn’t want to play. It might wreck the experience in band, and I think you don’t want that. She’s probably not going to want to play and that would probably make you mad.

I started playing in middle school, band teacher is and still great, this was helpful back when I first started 3 years ago.

Dear grate sir. Thanking from Sri Lanka.I received this 1st lesson from you. Yesterday only i bought a sax even without knowing how to hold it. But i know that now. God bless u dear sir.(2024)❤
Before this it sounded like air hissing out from a tire for me, now it sounds like air hissing out from a out tire but actually makes sound
@Owen Dalton nah im good but thanks

Jake Constantino alto is easier to play for beginners
Madlad
Just got my sax yesterday, I’m excited to play thanks for the clear lesson 😁
You're one of the best teachers on UA-cam. Thanks!

Looking forward to your videos started learning alto sax this week by just watching videos like this thanks a lot
Ramon! You are a terrific teacher! THANK YOU.
This is great! Music teachers rock!
You make learning to play the 🎷 with ease THANKS!
Your video made my son's day! His first try at playing and your video helped him get started. Thank you! God bless you!
Yeah our great teacher is doing a great job here
I just got a saxophone yesterday! This video helped me so much it gave me the perfect! Thank you very much!
Thanks. This video really helped. It’s my second day every handling the Saxophone and I was able to play the B, C, and D notes. Although I run out of air easily but I guess that will get better with time. What can I do to enhance that though ?
Thanks! I was struggling on my saxophone keys ALOT, and you helped me out, You deserve 5 M subs!
Thank you sooo much man!
You’re a fabulous teacher!!!
Hi! We love your approach to teaching! Our son plays the saxophone. I wanted to know if you would add more videos, so that our son can continue to progress with the Sax?
Totally agree. It's a shame he stopped doing it
You are a great teacher. This helps me a lot as a beginner!
You’ve got yourself a new subscriber. I am looking to learning more with you. You are an amazing teacher
Ive had my Alto for years and not tried to learn it. You make it look fun
Who's here in 2021 learning how to play in quarantine?😭😭👇🏾👇🏾
yesss!!!:)
Yep
I am
me, but i have to go to school ;-;
I play tenor still helpful!
Same
Excellent. Direct and to the point. All the other saxophone guys on UA-cam just yammer on and on without saying anything useful.
Thanks allot for making this video.
I checked several tutors and musicians, this one is the best..no time wasted and no prolonged conversations.
Just perfect.
Cheers
Totally Agree
hes a great teacher
Im a 8th grade alto sax, but I have to teach someone who just joined this year
Waiting to buy my first saxophone after finding a love for it, particularly would like to learn carribean queen. Saxophone is awesome!
Just got my first Alto sax and I really wanna be an expert. Happy to be here!
Why this man look like the dude from toy story
so true ahahahahhaha
so true lol
BAHAHH I-
Yo, Al from Al’s Toy Born plays sexphone
Big Al from Big Al's Toy Barn???
the number of buttons needed to play the D escalated quickly lol, starting for the 1st time today....
Thank you SOOO much for the basics We need more of you!
Thank you so much, i'm going to buy my first sax and this lesson is just what i needed.
Which saxophone would you recomend. I will begging learning pretty soon and i need a saxophone
Rent one if you can, if not, a saxophone is a saxophone but smaller ones will be cheaper. I bought an alto sax in great condition, used, for €400, that's fairly cheap.
Just make sure to play it before you buy it
I would just rent one for 3 months . If you stick with for 3 months I then would be looking to buy my own. A Yamaha Yas 62 is a great sax
I do not even have a saxophone. But still interesting to watch.
Can you recommend a good beginner book/guide..say from the library that has beginner songs and note fingerings to go along with your video class?
Thanks bro! Used to play in Elementary and High School! I’m 34 now and have a sax again! Ready for lesson two! I got my mouth position and sound on point!
Been looking to get back playing my sax after over 30 yrs started playing in the 4 grade, l had the pleasure of playing alto, tenor and baritone sax as well. Nice video to get back started, not to much content out there that is good.. Starting over at 62….
pls continue your tutorial part 1,2,3,4,5 etc
I just switched to saxophone from flute😀
I admire those that took this instrument up - at nearing 59 I think sticking with guitar is what I will do. Thanks, wish all luck on this one!! MAKE MUSIC no matter what!
Getting off my butt starting to learn my alto Sax again. Thanks for these keep it up!!!
He played D and I thought "OH SHIT, WE ARE NUMBER ONE"
When you say you're playing B , it comes through as D . Is that just the way it translates to the video ?
Keys By Mo It may be in concert pitch. Basically the notes sound the same but have different names according to different band instruments.
I used to play one in highschool. I'm getting one of my own soon, can't wait
This is the best video for beginner's playing saxophone I like his teaching technique.
please my saxophone pitch key is bad.
how can i repair it.
thanks
Courage Isaac give it to your local maintenance shop for instruments
Wrong place to ask
any idea why my d note sounds bad? i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong
Maybe u aren't pressing ur bottom lip down hard enough I used to do that lol
your sound gets better when you practice more
coffee tae mine sounds bad to
i've since dropped the sax 😅 but it turned out to be a problem with how hard i was pressing down.
Your probably blowing to hard
Awesome thank you, I started today, I’m 36 and love it!! I have to practice D a lot lol, Thanks for your help!! 😊
I’ve been playing for almost 3 years and I still like to watch beginner videos lmao
Where do I get the sheet music he's referring to?
Thx im in ban im in 6th i play. alto sax
jt brah lol u am I watching this I’m in college honor band 🤦♂️
jt brah same
Xx TigerFox 😂
Trash people
Yo man you’re great.I’m first trumpet at my school. I’m in 11th grade and I’m trying a new challenge and your saxophone tips are amazing.
i've wanted to play saxophone since seventh grade but was forced to do clarinet. As much as I love my clarinet and will continue to play it leisurely, I'm finally able to pick up saxophone at twenty years old. when i started i had to experiment with emboucher to get the right sound and figure out how to tune. the mouthpiece positioning was helpful XD
I struggle the most with memorizing fingerings as i have a learning disability that makes it difficult but other than that I love the instrument and I'm excited to keep learning
Welcome to sexy phone xD
What the hell am I doing here? I have a test tomorrow. I dont even have a saxophone
😂
I'm sold, Mr. Ocano! You really are a teacher.
My Mum just sent me my late Fathers Sax, this is just perfect for me as I'm a non reading muso already. Thanks 🎷😊
“Don’t puff out your cheeks”. Lol
