Like blowing a raspberry!

WHAT IS A
SAXOPHONE?

The Saxophone is woodwind instrument and is usually Gold and shiny. It is large and has lots of buttons for changing notes.

​

You need to take big breaths and blow a lot of air, the sound is easy to make when you're first learning. The saxophone is loud, and is most often found playing popular music, jazz and in concert bands.

WHERE DOES IT
FIT IN THE BAND?

The Alto saxophone sound makes up the middle of the band. Saxophone players sit in the middle row of the band ensemble.

​

They have sound all around them, drums, trumpets and trombones behind with clarinets and flutes to either side. Its an exciting place to be if you want to be seen!

CAN I TRY IT
ON FOR SIZE?

Absolutely!

 

Book into an Instrument Demo session to try the Alto Saxophone with the guidance of an Upscale Music Teacher.

HOW DO I KNOW IF IT'S FOR ME?

You need to be strong enough to hold it, but you get a neck strap to help, and you need to have fairly good finger dexterity for pressing lots of buttons. The sound is made by blowing into the mouthpiece to make a reed vibrate, and its fairly easy to get a good beginner sound. Playing softly requires some more skill!
