I play already a bit alto sax. But going often Hiking (having the alto on a 3 month trip through Spain with me 😥) I thought "better a soprano sax (bend version) just to be able to keep the emboucher. Ok. got it. It is a cute but hard one. Anyway love it already and being ready to start the journey with your tutorials.
That's really incredible jochensum1998. It's easy to carry and sounds beautiful when played. Let's take this journey together. It's a life-long journey and I know you'll enjoy the ride. Congratulations on making a really fantastic decision.
Hi Good morning, Im Roy, from Cardiff Wales here in UK. Is there any chance you can run through the scales with us. I played Alto back years and years ago but,I forgotten nearly everything. Blues Jazz Scales too please. The sax players I love are Brandford Marsalis, Wayne Shorter, Stan Getz, Art Porter RIP. And I do like Kenny G. My set up is Keilwerth SX 90 shadow Soprano,still looking for a good MP . I also have it in Alto. Take care thanks for your help.
Hello, I'm from Cuiabá; thanks God I understand you explaining, but it would be better listening or reading in Portuguese ( this place is near from Pantanal).
Thank you Denny. The straight ones tend to be a bit cheaper however when using swabs and pull-throughs to clean them, (which you have to do) you have to be careful since it’s easier to get the swab jammed at the tip of the neck. The removable neck leaves a wider opening for cleaning. The other advantage of the removable neck is that firstly, it creates a bend which makes pitching a bit easier as compared to the straight necks.

A straight soprano sax is slightly harder to play since the air has to be pushed in a linear way as opposed to a curved which is easier due to the that bend before the bell. the curve in a saxophone make it easier to pitch. I'll explain more in-depth in my next clip... just for you.
Yes why not? Dedicate more time to one of them though.Once you are more confident on the alto, you can start to increase your days on the soprano. You'll find the embouchure is slightly differnent on the alto since it has a wider chamber. The soprano is narrower and has no bend if it is a straight one. I alternate my days. I practice daily. One day is alto day and the other is soprano day. Play your alto for about 6 months -practice 30 -40 minutes a day. You should be ready to start increasing soprano time by the 6th month.
when i play with all fingers down and my pinky on my right hand down on that low key i can’t play it low sometimes i can but it sounds like when spongebob laughs i think it’s my mouth
It most probably is my dear friend. It’s to do with the air-tight seal of your lips on that mouthpiece, the pressure and support of your jaws and the consistent flow of air. It can sometimes have a bit to do with your Reed placement as well have a look at my last clip. I really go into correct Reed placement. Most of this is taken care of through regular practice. I hope that helped. I will happily help further if you need it. Do let me know. 😊
Great teaching skill
Audio is MUCH BETTER than lesson 2~Thank you kindly
Love you’re way Thanks for putting in.
Thank you. I appreciate the comment.

Great teaching. Hope to hear basic licks patterns for us to follow. Thanks and God bless
Thanks for the kind words my friend. I will surely be putting some licks and tricks into future recordings.
Hey mate, great info on my 3rd video now and feel it’s helped. I’m gonna keep on going and practicing. Cheers mate
Thanks Nathan. I'm really glad it helped. All the very best.

Thanks. Its a good tutorial.. Which one better for a student soprano sax straight one neck or not .,?

Where can i Start
My first lesson should be a great start my friend. Let me know if it helps at all.
How to Star
what is the difference of a straight soprano sax and curved soprano sax. i have a curved sax and i dont know if there is a big difference
A straight soprano sax is slightly harder to play since the air has to be pushed in a linear way as opposed to a curved which is easier due to the that bend before the bell. the curve in a saxophone make it easier to pitch. I'll explain more in-depth in my next clip... just for you.
@@simplysaxophonestarters803 thank you!
Hello! I have recently started with alto sax and was wondering if I could alternate it with the soprano, learn both at the same time
Yes why not? Dedicate more time to one of them though.Once you are more confident on the alto, you can start to increase your days on the soprano. You'll find the embouchure is slightly differnent on the alto since it has a wider chamber. The soprano is narrower and has no bend if it is a straight one.
