Tips and Tricks!

1.   Long notes to practice daily will improve your tone and everything.

2.   Memorize all your scales !

3.   If your alto is sounding “spitty”, just either blow hard (safely), or suck out the spit. Also, you can take the mouthpiece out and blow the spit out that way too.

4.   Do NOT drop your saxophone ever!

5.   Place the alto saxophone (If you’re tall) in between your legs. If doing so would require you to bend your wrist awkwardly, place the alto on your right side.

6.   Use a number 3 reed, and as your mouth muscles develop, get a higher number, as the higher up, the harder the reed gets.

7.   Overall, have fun !
