      @@awolnation2446 as a Trumpet player embouchure is so easy on tenor sax than it is trumpet. Because your lips require the vibration, saxophone gets away with murder because the Reed does the heavy lifting.
      Here's a rule woodwind players can learn from brass players.
      Embouchures are not created equal
      Some play side ways to get a sound
      Some play straight on the mouth piece.
      Others have to play tilted.
      Some play with their upper lip in the mouth piece like miles Davis.
      Saxophone is a piece of cake its mostly on breathing, diaphragm and patience

      @@christianhenry4173 as a sax player i very much disagree. I cannot say whether or not sax is harder than trumpet becuase they are very different. Sax seems like a very easy instrument when starting out, but as you progress you realise there are lots of things to overcome. An example being emboucher. Emboucher is more than just shaping your mouth in a way that lets you play, emboucher is perfecting every movement of the face, toungue, throat, etc. to be able to create a genuinley good tone and sound. once you realise and overcome the feat that is good emboucher, you can truly conqueror and play the saxophone well. I imagine this is the same for trumpet and all wind instruments.

    You played better, definitely as far as tone than nearly everyone in my middle school AND high school band classes!!! No one had the tone quality I had and YOU HAVE IT IN 30 DAYS!!! Great job, truly.
    This is coming from a used to be 8th grader that was first chair among seniors. They weren’t all laid back, they were competitive.

    I am 76 and just bought an alto sax at an auction and will follow your inspirational journey and hope for a similar result.
    PS. Also bought a clarinet, trumpet and electric drum set, so plenty of learning to do.

    Great job, in 30 days you are better than 80% of the kids I played with in high school after 4 years of band.
    I stopped playing sax for 38 years and picked it up again 3 years ago. I was told and still believe that the saxophone is the easiest instrument to play and one of the most difficult to master (oboe and bassoon are impossible). I picked up flute along the way and it is definitely easier to sound good on flute after a short time. Give it a try some time, embrochure is tricky but once you get it it's a joy. Really enjoyed the video.

    Wow, I bought an alto sax, and I’m ready to dive in! Today is my first studio practice, and I can’t wait. I don’t really know what I’m doing yet, but my first sheet music is "When the Saints Go Marching In." Since I can’t read music, I’m using a cheat sheet with the letter notes. I plan to teach myself how to read music, and so far, I’m making good progress. I hope I can improve quickly, just like you did!

  • @amathesaxylady

    This is really impressive and a real inspiration for those wanting to learn to play the saxophone. BUT, as a sax player and teacher myself, for beginners, please take the following into consideration: 1. everyone learns at a different pace; 2. Kize is learning one song only in particular for her project, so she may only be learning the notes she needs for this song and missing out all of the others. 3. to work without.a teacher you have to be disciplined and motivated AND SHE SURE IS! 4. Some prior knowledge of music is really helpful, which Kize had. If you cannot play any musical instrument or cannot read music before you start, it will take you longer to learn. It took me about a month to learn the trombone to intermediate level, but I already had a strong background in music. HAPPY LEARNING EVERYONE!

    I have played saxaphone for almost 2 years now and a tip is that that is an alto sax and you hold it forwards not to your side it clears up the sound a bit and makes it easier to hold.
