 And
are you struggling to play the saxophone?
Have you been struggling to get a good sound?
Do your bottom notes "pop up" an octave?
Are your top notes flat? Does your lip get sore?
Saxophone tutor books only teach
you to read elementary music. They don't show you how to PLAY
the saxophone properly. If they do try, most of them get the basics
completely wrong.
They
ALL completely ignore the saxophone
Embouchure, so vital to any wind instrumentalist.
Above all, saxophone tutor books
NEVER tell you what to do when things do go wrong.

Do you
have problems like these?
1.
Often I cannot get a sound, no matter how hard I blow.
2. There is a distinct
hiss when I play the saxopnone.
3.
I cannot get the notes to play softly. They just vanish into a
hiss.
4.
How do I play loud or soft without changing my lip pressure?
5.
I put the mouthpiece in the correct position but all I get is squeals.
6. I cannot get the low notes on the saxophone even though I am
not touching the octave key.
7.
The notes above high G are flat on my sax.
8.
I cannot get notes above top space G. They simply squawk downwards.
9.
I get squeals on my sax when I try to tongue a note.
10. My cheeks puff uncontrollably
and I get a sore throat after playing the saxophone.
11. My fingers
hurt after I have been playing the saxophone for only a short time.
12. I can get top notes
on the sax only if I use very hard reeds.
All text is written in plain, jargon free English.
