I have never felt a musical pain like this but over time with continued practice and maybe even lessons if she wants to pursue the sax, she'll significantly improve.
@shiningpyro I play trumpet at my school's jazz band. I don't have much tips, just make sure to practice constantly and work on your embachure( idm If I spelled that correct ).
@shiningpyro Embouchure is important for trumpet players because it's what is going to allow you to switch between octaves, so the better the embouchure, the easier octave changes will be especially when you get to more advanced pieces.
As a Alto player I am there with you.😭 ASWELL WHY IS HER INSTRUMENT SO LOW ON HER NECK STRAP.😭 AND WHY IS HER MOUTHPIECE SO FAR OFF HE CORK IT'S SO FLAT😭

That’s not a bad start! I’ve been playing for seven years but I always come across a new way to play notes and become shocked. I usually say something along the lines of, “I didn’t know that button did anything!”
As a sax who plays both alto and bari, this hurt my very soul. For anyone interested I play both in jazz, and in my hs concert band. Bari for both, but alto during solos or practicing at home. Ain’t no way I’m lugging the Bari home everyday lol
No, I'm a 6th grader and my assistant band teacher said that he HATES Careless Whisper, so now I really want to film one of my 10-minute videos of me JUST playing it. (Yes, I am an Alto Sax player.)
As a band kid, I feel pain. I’m not even a saxophone player, I’m a percussionist but I know sax and clarinet so the pain is still most certainly there 😭

I play the saxophone and I have some tips - 1.dont puff your cheeks when playing 2. Dont get a colored saxophone 3. Put your mouth peice on just a little lower 4. Maybe put the reed down (until you see the TINIEST little bit of the mouth piece
When i played for the first time i was so scared to make a sound because i thought it would sound horrible but it didn't andd i learned to play baby shark and some other songs in 1 hour 😅😭
UA-cam recommending this to me after I dug out the saxophone I saved up for when I was a kid but never played, and I looked up how to play careless whisper 2 days ago. Felt like I was watching a video of myself! 😆🙌🏽🙌🏽 nicely done with those trills by the way
I've been learning the saxophone, but I mostly play my clarinet and I've been playing that for 7 years so im trying to introduce myself to something new
As someone who plays saxophone, this hurt. Also gurl u really need to tune it (u tune it by pulling out and in the mouth piece) and don't puff your cheeks.
my band director told all the saxophones that the only way that they could ever play careless whisper in class was if they could play it in all twelve keys. only one person has ever done it, and he could belt it out whenever he wanted, even while my band director was talking.
@@harrypotterfanforever13 but if you didn't and was just being sarcastic you probably couldn't bc it takes time and dedication to learn any instrument of any kind
Gosh This hurts The way your holding it The way you blow into to it Its very hurtful Tips on how to get a smoother sound: Blow warm air and make sure its soft to If youre a beginner sitdown and have your saxophone between your legs If your saxophones is squeaky and uts cold Play around with the buttons spam it till it gets a little warm I think someone already said about not getting a colored saxophone its not because they look terrible they'll sound terrible
If you haven't already, you should watch the history of that song. The two girls he was in a love triangle with, how young he was when he wrote it, and the obsession he had trying to get the perfect saxophonist to play this sax solo that he could only hum. He kept firing the best sax players in the country, and people thought he was crazy for caring so much about one little part to one song. Turns out it's the most iconic thing he's ever done, to the chagrin of the man himself who said he sadly peaked when he was teenager. Whoops, guess you don't need to watch the video now 😂
Sax 🎷 isn't difficult. It's nearly the same as playing flutophone, clarinet, or oboe Adolf Sax based it off of clarinets. Check out Simon Whistler's video on how badass the guy was.
Get whatever color sax you want, its just a matter of taste. The sound quality comes from you technique and mouthpiece/reed combo, the horn doesnt matter too much
Easy to learn and play, hard to master and play well with clear sound. There are so many factors involved in getting better at the saxophone that it's actually much more complex than you'd think.
As a saxophonist, classical and jazz. That scared me so many times, also don't puff your cheeks, don't let your fingers fly, keep them ok the keys, and DO NOT blow so HARD
As a saxophonist, you had a few errors, you probably don’t care too much if your intentions were just to mess around a little, but I could tell you what to do to fix them, the squeaking is either coming from biting the read too hard, or tonguing too hard, with your air stream, think dew or ewww or ooo, and play with confidence, also, don’t take any of this in a negative way, and enjoy playing! your’s truly -76lives
I jdut joined band on a whim and the director said for me to play alto sax, and let me just say, it sounded squeaky asf, i’m very impressed with you even hitting some of the notes😭😭
Never learned careless whisper. Back in grade school I bought both a clarinet and a tenor sax. Got rid of the clarinet w/I a month. Sold the tenor sax in my early 20s. Bought a high end P. Marion soprano in my late 40s. Loving ❤️ it even more now than back in the day.
As a band kid knows the true horror and you can’t puff you cheeks it will make it sound weird I do saxophone and I have lessons on Mondays and if I do puffy cheeks I will have 3 minutes rest and I don’t like that because I only have a bit of time
Also don't puff out you checks when playing then you will have better sound. And when you change your fingerings dont exaggerate it as much then it will be easier. Finally you have yo keep a strong embochure while playing then you will sound so much better.
As a sax player this hurt me in very VERY many different ways, such as puffed cheeks, she wasn’t tonging,ect. But she still did nice for never playing it before😂
As an amateur saxophonist myself, I like to describe the saxophone as one of if not the easiest instrument to play. But that doesn’t mean you can just pick it up and go.
Have played sax for nearly 15 years, Can confirm this isn't careless whisper and is more akin to the first notes played on the saxophone by everyone who has ever purchased one. Hope this helps!
So much wrong with this.. 😭😭😭 Saxophone looks hard to play and lesen but its actually easy once you learn your notes and stuff, and her cheeks shouldnt be puffed like that, and its a amazon saxophone.. Atleast she didnt try swallowing the whole mouthpiece Edit: i just realised her mouthpiece is way off the cork so she sounds flat + why is her neck strap so low..
ive been playing alto sax for two years now and got first in state in band, i get my instraments from palen musin in springfeild mo usa. If your just being silly ignore my but otherwise stand still in a power pose with knees bent slightly get a 3.0 wooden reed push your moth peice in tighten your neck strap if anything it needs to be pushing against your top lip and curl your bottom lip i shouldnt see any pink also make a duck lip on your top one, that should help and i noticed your keys look a little stick and you can put a peice of paper between them and the body and push to get slobber out and make it less stick👍
