Beginner Alto Sax-Lesson 16

Description

This is the 16th lesson in a series on learning how to play the saxophone from the very beginning. This series of lessons will be focused on learning the fundamentals of playing the saxophone and developing good habits. This series will be primarily out of the Essential Elements 2000 Book 1 for alto saxophone so you will need that book to work out of. In this lesson I take you through page 30-31 of the book.  I introduce you to the D Major scale and talk in depth about how to play “offbeats”. I spend a good amount of time talking about understanding rhythms and how to practice them. (Video)
