What are you gonna learn in class saxophone
- A cheaplight and sound: how to support the lip onto the cane to achieve a round and tuned tone throughout the record.
- Air support for long, dynamic phrases and serious registration monitoring, which at first costs.
- Articulation and frambling in different styles, including swing, with its unequal clocks and accents.
- Stages, arpegtiums and passing to acute registration with an octave key.
- Improvisation: Pentatonic and blues scales, play onto clues and build your own solos.
- Sunkey reading as a transpository instrument (high is in my bemol and tenor itself bemol).
At how old do we start?
From 9 years old
To be a reference, many children start at 9 or 10 years old, most often with high saxophone, with the most manageable size and weight. Before that age the instrument can be heavy and the keys are far from their fingers, so some children start with [sweet flute]](/clases/flauta-dulce) and then they move to the saxe. It's an orientation guide: the teacher looks at the size of his or her hands, posture and motivation of every child. Adults can start at any age and many come to the saxo for his or her love of jazz or soul.
What do you need to start with?
- A high saxophone (or tenor, depending on your size and your goals) in good condition. If you are to achieve this, ask your teacher for guidance.
- Nozzle, clamp, soft rods to start with and a strap or comfortable harness.
- A cleaner or espbillion to dry the inside after playing.
- For virtual classes: a stable connection, a device with a camera and a space where you can play without worrying about the volume.

FAQ about saxophone
Tall, tenor or soprane: with which saxophone do I start?
Most start with high saxophone, because its size, weight and endurance are intermediate and there's a lot of study material for it. Tendency is a good choice for teens and adults looking for a more serious sound. Soprane usually gets put up for later, because it's more picky to tuning.
Is saxophone metal or wood?
It's made of metal but it's classified into the wood family because the sound's made with a cane that vibrates against the nozzle, as with [clarinet]](/clases/clarinete)That's why they share a simple tongue and several digits.
Can I learn jazz from the start?
Yes. The technical basis (sound, tuning, reading) is the same for any style but from an early date you can work with blues, simple standards and improvisation exercises. Your teacher balances technical and repertoire so that you build solid bases without losing motivation.
Do I need to know how to read music to learn saxophone?
No. Readings are learned in parallel with instrument, step by step, and at the same time you develop your ear to get melodies, something key to jazz and popular music. If you want to strengthen reading by itself, you can complement with [musical theory]](/clases/teoria-musical).
