Thank you
Not a wasted word. This is an amazing class. Thank you so much for your time, help, and dedication.
Excellent teaching Thank you
The horn has many holes already for air ventilation 🤭
Yes now easy to blow
The best beginner saxophone class i have ever seen in my 40 years of dealing with saxophones!!! Showing the fingering chart on the side was THE BEST THING EVER!!! You are a great instructor!!!
In what world is the explicit notation harder to read than the wishy-washy swing one? This all goes _way_ over my head.
Great, wish I'd been able to watch this years ago! Thanks.
Thank you 🥰
Great , although I knew all this theory, the way that you presented makes it easier to comprenhend it and learn it, thanks so much.
Good day, Please where can I get the U-trainer embouchure trainer? Thanks
Hi. I got mine online from Thomann. It cost around £25 plus transport cost. So it is not cheap. But be aware that your embouchure will develop naturally over time as you play the saxophone, so you may not need it. It might be better to put the money towards a better mouthpiece. Thanks
Saludos a todos y Bendiciones.
Taking it from 100db to low 20's is more than enough. Great idea.
Great lesson thanks 🙏🏻
I just notice your table, where did you buy it?
How is the key signature in C on twinkle lil star, when the ledger line goes str8 through a quarter note? What am I missing here?
Hi. The note with the ledger line through it is low C played with the fingers 123,123, and the right hand pinky finger on the low C key (the lower of the 2 keys). It is the first note shown in the video on the section playing the C major scale. Notes above and below the musical staff are written with ledger lines regardless of what key the music is in. I hope this answers the question. There are lots of videos on my channel about reading sheet music which goes into more detail about ledger lines. Thanks
@@Saxcomprehensive Appreciate your response. I've written out E,F,G,A,B,C,D,E,F across the staff and trying to line them up with twinkle lil star. In the first sheet it seems to line up except for the ledger line notes, then it goes out of whack in the second sheet of twinkle (obviously noobie me problem). I've watched nearly all of your reading sheet music, which is awesome and pretty straight fwd, its just this one part lining up notes to the staff seems to escape me.
@@hooch3668 Hi. You are correct that the notes you have written are for the notes of the 5 lines of the staff but there are notes below and above these notes. In order to include those notes we have to write in extra ledger lines. So in addition to what you have have lined up, the note below E which is the first line, is D and is written below the first line. the note below that is low C and we have to extend the 5 lines by drawing in an extra line called a ledger line. The note below low C is low B and that note is written below the ledger line. So line up the notes as you have done but remember we add in additional lines for notes below E. So twinkle star in the key of C starts with a ledger line which is low C. The notes are therefore C,C,G,G,A,A,G,F,F,E,E,D,D,C. then G,G,F,F,E,E,D,G,G,F,F,E,E,D, then C,C,G,G,A,A,G,F,F,E,E,D,D,C. The song in the key of F should not be a problem as all notes are within the 5 lines. Just remember to play all Bs as Bb because there is a Bb in the key signature. The song in the key of D, remember to play all Fs and Cs as F# and C#. So you have lined up the notes correctly starting at the first of the 5 lines but there are notes below the notes you have lined up. There is a B,C,D below your first E and since there are only 5 lines we add ledger lines to show notes below E. Hope this helps to with the misunderstanding. Thanks
@@Saxcomprehensive ahhh I see, I just didn't line up the notes well enough. I can see the spacing between the E, D goes between the lines and then low C cross's through the next line - (low c), making twinkle lil star in the key of c. Thank you so much for your help. You have been pivotal in my early journey as a sax player.
I am just starting out and learned a lot thank you I appreciate your time you put in this video thank you
You've got a good pragmatic mind! I'm curious about how good something like this could be for a piano, which tends to be notoriously awful for neighbors. Of course then you're dealing with a lot of weight and a lot of sound travels through the floor because of that weight. Also how good a booth could be if built into the corner of a room because then you'd only have 2 walls. But you could hang blankets inside to temper things.
This is way better than the one on one class that I am taking atm.
Thanks for the video.
Thank you are the best I haven’t started yet , but the way you explained all the steps it’s amazing.
This lesson was fabulous. I’ve been playing 3 weeks. This was great for me. I’m looking forward to your other videos

Thanks professor
Great lesson and teacher, thanks from the bottom of my heart.
Hi, thank you for all the explainations about the booth. Is a ventilation system absolutely necessary if I open the door every 5-10 minutes ? This is for vocals purpose.
Hi. My booth did not have any ventilation and I used to open the door every 20-30 mins to let in some fresh air. I did not have any problems with lack of air but it got hot in there quickly and noisy playing my saxophone. If you are going to build one for vocal purposes make sure you check out my video which has the decibel check so you know what level of noise it will prevent. With this booth I could hear the tv playing from inside the booth so this would not be good for recording vocals if you have a noisy household. Thanks
@@Saxcomprehensive This is not for me to not hear what's going on in my apartment but mostly to make my neighbors not hearing me or the less possible. Thanks for the answer !
Wow, daunting, but very useful, thank you
Thank you Sir, probably the best video out there.
Thanks so much man, you really delivered a great teaching here and was all I needed to know right now that I've bought my first sax yesterday, now all my initial doubts are gone, even some points that I wasn't aware of so thanks a lot and wish you the best.
Thank you so much… 🙏❤
Lovely
Wow! Nice!

ich lerne bei dir Saxophone bevor ich Saxophone Profi, spreche ich schon perfekt Englisch
Very impressive, hardly "bare minimum" much better than many peoples 👍
Thank you so much. I got mine a week ago so I am very grateful for this information.
Very nice information
Hello, a quick question for you sir. What is the possible cause that the tone sounded smoothly in C major going down from mid C to low C(3 fingers left & right with right pinky on the lowest key). But whenever I try to start with the low C it always comes out off? It seems that when transitioning down to low C from D, its just closing of an extra tone hole with the right pinky, but because there is a D before the low C, it came out the right tone as air is already smooth in the pipe. But when release all fingers and try to start directly with low C, its very hard to get the right tone come out immediately...like the flow somehow not right for it and to get it right I have to play the D before it and transition to the low C.
HI. This is common for people starting to learn the saxophone. When playing the low notes of low C and below most of the tone holes of the horn are closed off which means more air is needed. Also we may change our embouchure when playing low notes to get them out correctly. It is just a matter of practising the low notes. Open your throat as if yawning or singing a low note. Blow warm air instead of cold air. Blow a good amount of air through the horn. Place your tongue in a low position as if singing a low note. If low C sounds fine going down then there is nothing wrong with your horn or reed. It is just a matter of keep on practising your scales and it will soon start sounding correct. Remember moving from D to C as a slur the reed is already vibrating. Starting with C you have to start the reed vibrating which needs a lot of air and correct embouchure. Alternatively play with a softer reed. When I started playing I used Hemke filed reeds strength 2 as these reeds are filed and make playing low notes easier. But as said before keep practising starting on low notes and adjusting your embouchure until you find the correct position of your embouchure for these notes to come out when starting. Thanks
@@Saxcomprehensive Thank you!
If you know alto recorder, you can use those fingerings to play tenor sax music on alto. You can also use similar fingerings to play F horn music on tenor.
Very useful, thank you
Looks amazing
How many times does he say "saxophone" in this video ? 🤔
you make great videos
I don’t think I’m following quite well, but, by extension couldn’t you say that the modes within those keys, C, F, and Bb. For example E Phrygian, E locrian, or an E flat Lydian scale could be played over the II chord? Correct? Or am I just speaking gibberish.
Hi. The II chord of the key of C is Dm7 so we play D dorian. The II chord of the key of F is Gm7 so we play G dorian. The II chord of the key of Bb is Cm7 so we play C dorian. So if those chords appeared in sheet music we could just play the notes of the appropriate scales. If we saw a major chord like FMaj7 we could play a F Ionian scale (I chord) or F lydian scale (IV chord). We can do this as a way of improvising when we do not know the chord progression. However in any key there are 3 minor chords on II, III and VI. So if we did not know the chord progression, Gm7 could be a II, III or VI chord of some key. If we knew it was a III chord we can play G phrygian or VI chord then G aeolian. But for simplicity play dorian over minor chords and lydian over major chords unless it is the root where we play Ionian. For dominant chords like G7 there are many different scales that we can use. Just remember that the modes of a key all have the same notes but start on different notes, whereas the C modes all have different notes, that is, C dorian has different notes to C Lydian and is a different scale. Hope this helps to clear up this introduction to modes. Thanks
Great video!
I have been playing the Saxophone for a long time and this is the best introduction I’ve ever came across, great job
Man I wish I had just joined band back then when I wanted to... Thank you for this 🙏 I haven't learned about music since elementary school.
