Saxophone Fundamentals

Daily consistent routine will build the skills needed to play well.

Example daily routine (practice session) long tones using scales in all registers... example...

Scales

Know your major scales from memory. This is the basis for knowing ALL scales. IF you know your majors, then all the others come along much more quickly.

Play all majors the entire range of the instrument

Practice scales in 3rds practice scales from top to bottom practice scales in 4ths Practice scales til the cows come home!

Excellent practice tools:

Learn the following Minor scales: Harmonic Minor Melodic Minor Natural Minor

Mouthpieces: Info borrowed from the B a f f le

Chamber

Mouthpiece Makers common & inexpensive

Mouthpiece Makers jazz

Each session should involve band or solo literature and sight reading material

Jazz players should work on jazz patterns articulation head(melody)memorization improvisation

Embouchure

“to form mouth” Lips function as a gasket around mouthpiece Teeth located on top of mouthpiece Lower lip rolled in and placed on reed Keep FIRM pressure with teeth on top of mouthpiece ! Do NOT put too much pressure on reed.

How do you get to be a great sax player? Have a plan...a routine......a consistent routine. Outside of long tones......apply tempo to everything you play!

Use a tuner!

Use a metronome!

Record yourself to analyze your sound intonation tempo articulation phrasing dynamic contrast

Recording yourself is one of the best ways to improve at a faster pace.

Advanced jazz players should transcribe solos from recordings

Listen to many players...like... a ton of saxophonists...more than you can count! And then listen some more!

Finally...take private lessons. There’s no substitute for a private instructor. They provide motivation and help you set goals...a definite must! Lessons are only valuable if you actually practice every day... otherwise don’t waste your money or the instructor’s time.
