Beginner Sax... The Beginning

I have just started playing the Alto Saxophone again after about 12 years away from it. When I did play I was nothing special it was high school band, so I am not claiming to be an expert in any way, and I am not doing this because I think I have anything to teach to anyone.

The main focus of this page is to provide general info on the sax and hopefully I will be able to provide other people with information videos and anything I can create that I find helpful for myself that may help you as well.

During my history with the sax I have played both the Alto and the Tenor. There are four standard types of saxophone the Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Baritone. Where I currently only own an Alto Sax that is what all of the content on this site will be referring o the Alto unless otherwise stated.

There are a few websites that I have found very useful myself The first one I found was thanks to YouTube where I first found some instructional videos. The website is called SaxStation.com and you can see his YouTube videos by clicking Here I will also add some of my favorite YouTube videos on later posts.

Another great instructional video page on YouTube is from the user MrSelfridge the best thing with this guy is that he breaks a song down to parts and makes it very easy to play along. he also has songs for other instruments including the clarinet, flute, and trumpets.

Some of the stuff I plan to post on here will be videos of sax players that I find online like the following a street performer Rakiem Walker at Central Park in New York.

If you do have any questions I will do the best I can to answer them if you leave comments, but please keep in mind that as I am still considering myself to be a beginner as well I may not have the answers that you are looking for, but I will do what I can to answer them or find the information that will help.
