Saxophone Lessons
The saxophone is a legendary instrument in the world of music. From classic jazz tracks to rock ‘n’ roll, the saxophone has been used by many types of musicians over the years.
The saxophone is a single-reed instrument that was first developed in the 1840s by instrument maker Adolphe Sax. Sax introduced saxophones that played in C and F, as well as ones that played B flat and E flat. The latter instruments became much more popular, soon becoming the standard types of saxophones played worldwide. In the early 1900s, the instrument rose in popularity with the ragtime and jazz music movements of the time.

FAQ
Is it hard to learn the saxophone?
It isn’t hard to learn the saxophone, especially compared to other instruments. The scales on the saxophone run up and down the keys, making fingering not too difficult to grasp. It also translates well if you know other woodwind instruments or piano. Though it can be relatively easier, it is still a challenge to make a saxophone sound great, and taking lessons can vastly improve your overall sound quality, as well as how quickly you learn. Trying out the saxophone teachers at TakeLessons is a great place to start.
Can you learn the saxophone yourself?
You can start learning saxophone by yourself, but it’s going to be frustrating and very time-consuming if you don’t have any help. Learning the saxophone is a lot easier with a great tutor at your side who can show you the right fingerings and walk you through music theory. There are many options for lessons, including in-person tutoring and online tutorials. Whether you’re looking for the best online saxophone lessons or an in-person session, TakeLessons has you covered.
