What makes our saxophone books so special?

Saxophone books for beginners
What should I put attention on?

Which saxophone school or saxophone book is suitable for you to get started with, especially as an adult beginner, depends very much on whether you have previously learned another instrument or whether the saxophone is your first instrument.

Saxophone books for beginners

Learn the saxophone as a beginner without any prior musical knowledge

If the saxophone is the first musical instrument you want to learn, then it's a bit slower and more varied.
On the one hand, you need the know-how that directly affects the saxophone, such as embouchure, posture, breathing, grips and finger technique.

At the same time, basic musical knowledge such as reading music with pitches and note values ​​and gaining musical experience are also on your to-do list.

Your saxophone teacher can be very helpful, especially at the beginning, because he will stop incorrect training and practice in good time, correct the correct position of the incisors and lower lip, pay attention to a loose lower jaw and control when playing

Initiating the tones through the correct interaction of tongue technique, embouchure, breathing and airflow.

Of course, you can also learn a lot from various videos. The difficult thing about learning with videos for saxophone beginners is that, in contrast to learning the guitar, where everything is clearly visible and you can look at the hand position and the fingerboard, when playing the saxophone a lot happens in the mouth and you can do that on the Unfortunately you can't really see the video. Above all, you won't get any feedback as to whether you're still on the right track.

Saxophone book for beginners

Learn the saxophone as a second instrument with prior musical knowledge

Many beginners come to the saxophone from the clarinet or flute and already have a long musical career behind them. Many years of lessons on these instruments with a music teacher, making music and playing in a music club or a wind orchestra or brass band - there is already many years of experience.

With this prior musical knowledge, learning the saxophone as an additional instrument is of course relatively easy. It's not about boarding again, but about changing.

Like the saxophone, the clarinet is a reed instrument and therefore has a similar mouthpiece and a similar embouchure to the saxophone, while the transverse flute has a fingering technique similar to the saxophone and therefore has largely identical or very similar fingerings.

Of course, learning the saxophone progresses easily, quickly and quickly.
