I have never played a saxophone before. I played this on alto just now and it only took 5 minutes thanks to how easy you made it.

Great stuff! I sometimes go back to early lessons just to go back to basics for a while. Watching this takes me back to 5 years ago working through this lesson and the satisfaction of making it through and how it felt like the beginnings of making real music - progress! ❤🎷

This is great. Really got my daughter engaged and playing quickly. Her new Yamaha seems to be a half-step flat compared to you and the backing track. Any idea as to why? Her cheap Mendini was in tune but played and sounded terrible. Now she sounds great, but is flat. Thx!

Nice beginner tune. Better than playing Hot Cross Buns, what I learned when I started. Thanks!

@McGillMusicSaxSchool Жыл бұрын

Ha - yes a bit more fun than that (I started with Hot Cross Buns too!)

Hey what key is this in?

@user-ci2pw2lq7s Жыл бұрын

Hi Nigel, I’m already signed up but can’t find the pdf on the members website?

@McGillMusicSaxSchool Жыл бұрын

Hi. It’s in our Starter Pathway inside Sax School Pro. Shoot us over a message inside the member area if you need help finding it.

@caseyrebel9947 Жыл бұрын

I would love to sign up for a membership but I travel for work a lot and would miss days or weeks worth of lessons, so a monthly or even yearly membership would not work for me. Is there a lifetime access to the lessons?

@McGillMusicSaxSchool Жыл бұрын

Hi Casey. With Sax School PRO you have access to our full library of lessons which you can use any time. And our live sessions are recorded - so you never need to miss anything. We have a lifetime option but our annual membership is great value.

I want to buy a saxophone, what tuning do I need for your classes, Bb or Eb

@McGillMusicSaxSchool Жыл бұрын

That depends on your saxophone. If you have an alto sax - you are in Eb. If you have the larger Tenor sax, you are in Bb. We have lessons for both inside Sax School and some great tools to help you transpose between them too.

LOL- I've played trombone in high school and 20 years later, in a local community band for 10 years. Yesterday, I picked up an alto sax for fun (because I wanted to play 80s pop song solos. Now I'm just barely getting thru this video. Awesome lesson! thank you
