BLOWING AIR๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽท๐ŸŽท Blow air into the mouthpiece without pressing any keys,ย Your goal here is to create a clear, consistent sound as you blow into the mouthpiece. If you are getting flat, airy sounds from the instrument, create a tighter seal around the mouthpiece with your lips. If it sounds weak and incomplete, then you're hearing a flat sound. Place more of the mouthpiece into your mouth if you hear a faint, unclear sound. Make adjustments to your positioning as needed until you can make a clear, consistent sound with the instrument. Once you get that clear sound, you know your embouchure is correct. For live lessons and interactive class, join us today via K4ZqbmJyafn0d4sBLKXZ8r

Slide over to the right side of the seat, so that your right leg is hanging slightly over the edge. This frees up that side of your body to hold the saxophone and prevents you from banging it against the chair. You can play the sax standing up, but beginners find it easier to learn the instrument while sitting down. Avoid comfortable chairs, like recliners, since these make it difficult to maintain good posture. For live lessons and interactive class, join us today via K4ZqbmJyafn0d4sBLKXZ8r
