Introduction of The Saxophone for Beginners

2020-08-03

The saxophone is a good choice of musical instruments for kids or for beginner. Because there are not only a wide variety of types and sizes available to suit every player but the basic fingering technique can be easy for a beginner to learn allowing them to produce a good sound quite quickly. If you are looking to play the saxophone we have a few tips to help you get started.


Tips for Buying a Saxophone:

Level

The level you are as a player will influence the saxophone you will get. As a beginner you are best to get a saxophone that has been specifically designed for beginners and then upgrade your woodwind instrument as your playing develops.


Price

Price is an important factor for most when choosing an instrument. However, there will be range of options available to you across every price range that suit your needs and budget. It is worth bearing in mind when choosing a beginner saxophone that younger players are likely to upgrade their instrument as they grow and all players will probably want to upgrade their instrument as their playing develops.

Size 

When choosing a custom saxophone it is important to get a size/weight to suit the player. Some types of saxophone (especially the baritone saxophone) can be quite large and heavy meaning they are not suitable for young players. For young beginners look for smaller and lighter saxophones that have been adapted for their needs. Having the correct size saxophone will ensure that the player is comfortable whilst playing and develops the correct posture and technique. Want to know more, find out more click here


Tips for Once you Have a Saxophone: 

Practise Makes Perfect 

One of the reasons the saxophone is such a popular musical instrument with beginner musicians is student saxophonists can pick up the fingering technique and produce a good sound quite quickly and progress from there. However, to truly master the saxophone it will take a lot of patience and practise. As the player progresses with the new saxophone they can graduate to the other types of saxophone such as the soprano or the baritone.
