Student Advice

Improve Your Saxophone Playing

One of the keys to improving your saxophone playing lies in setting realistic goals. By identifying what you want to achieve, whether it’s playing complex jazz solos or flawlessly performing classical pieces, you can focus your practice sessions and track your progress over time. Through my online saxophone lessons, I provide personalized feedback and tailored exercises to help you hit those milestones, all while keeping the process enjoyable and engaging.

In addition to goal-setting, consistent practice is crucial for advancement. I believe in creating a practice routine that feels more like a delightful ritual than a chore. I encourage students to incorporate warm-up exercises, scales, and improvisation into their sessions to build technique and inspire creativity.

Joanna Abel

Joanna Abel

I’ve been a musician, ever since I picked up an old boxwood clarinet at the tender age of 6 and started playing a tune on it. I played in orchestras and wind bands, and by the time I was 14, I had passed my Grade 8 Associated Board practical exam. When I left school, I discovered the saxophone and fell in love with the sound, so I bought one and began playing in a folk-rock band. From here on, I played in a variety of bands; jazz, funk, comedy, folk and pop – I found I liked the variety.

Tenor Saxophone Explained

Exploring the Tenor Saxophone

Welcome to our next stop on the saxophone journey: understanding the parts of the tenor saxophone, which is an integral part of any saxophone masterclass. Whether you're just stepping into the world of beginner saxophone lessons or are already enveloped in the sounds of your own recording, knowing your instrument is crucial.

The Mouthpiece and Reed

As any sax player will tell you, the starting point of playing saxophone lies in the mouthpiece and reed. These components are where your sound begins, vibrating with your breath to project that smooth sound. When you engage in online saxophone lessons, you'll learn that selecting the right reed can make all the difference, transforming what may have initially felt like bamboozling youtube videos into an effortless expression of music.

The Neck and Octave Key

The neck of the tenor saxophone connects the mouthpiece to the body, incorporating the essential octave key. This key allows you to explore your playing abilities across different octaves, a feature your sax school teachers will highlight as you navigate the world of sheet music and near endless selections of tunes. Playing regularly will help you master transitioning between these octaves with ease.

The Body and Tone Holes

Next, let’s delve into the body of the saxophone, lined with tone holes and keys. As part of your online learning journey with the saxophone, you'll be introduced to techniques that will make closing and opening these keys seem like second nature. This part of the instrument is your gateway to captivating audiences, whether entertaining friends in a pub or thrilling a community band with your sax playing.

The Bell and Its Role

Finally, we arrive at the bell, the portion that flares out at the end of the saxophone. This is where your sound exits, shaped by everything you have done before it. Playing saxophone on a tenor sax means your sound is bigger, more resonant—perfect for making a statement in any improvised musical journey. Your great teacher will guide you in using the bell to create a pure thrill for your listeners.

Exploring Other Saxophones

The Alto Saxophone

In addition to the tenor saxophone, the alto saxophone is often a starting point for many starters at my Online Saxophone Lessons. It’s slightly smaller and higher pitched, making it ideal for beginners who are just stepping into the world of sax lessons. As your online saxophone lessons progress, you'll discover that the alto offers a unique range that adds a distinctive flair to any melody. My sax school helps simplify alto sax techniques, transforming initial struggles into an improvised musical journey filled with your all-time favourites. From the first notes to learning on demand, the alto sax can be an effortless and cool entry into the saxophone community.

The Soprano Saxophone

Another unique type is the soprano saxophone, which stands out with its straight, slender build and higher pitch. This saxophone might seem daunting at first, but with a fantastic teacher guiding you during saxophone classes or online lessons, navigating its nuances becomes significantly easier. Playing the soprano sax requires patience and precision as it demands control over tone and pitch—but once mastered, it produces a captivating sound that resonates beautifully in a pub or community band setting. My own sax school teaches techniques that let you connect with this instrument, reducing any performance anxiety.

The Baritone Saxophone

For those looking for a resonant, deep sound, the baritone saxophone is the instrument to explore. It’s larger and produces a rich, full-bodied tone which can be both grounding and thrilling. This saxophone is your gateway to creating a bold statement in any performance. Through an engaging blend of on-demand saxophone lessons and a self-paced practice routine, my music academy helps you integrate the baritone's impressive sound into your repertoire. Whether playing seamless jazz sections or hitting perfect notes in other genres, you’ll find the baritone an exciting addition to your skill set, captivating audiences with its robust presence.

Embarking on saxophone classes online offers a near endless selection of musical possibilities. Regardless of which saxophone you choose to learn, the experience is nothing short of transformative.

Learn All Styles At My Sax School

Jazz: The Heartbeat of Sax

When I first decided to learn saxophone, jazz was the starting point that drew me in. Its rich, dynamic nature allows for an improvised musical journey that can captivate audiences at any skill level. As a sax player, diving into jazz through online saxophone lessons opened up a world I could navigate with ease and creativity. Jazz is about expressing emotion and connecting with your listeners. Playing jazz on the tenor saxophone can make you feel like you're continuously writing your own verse—a cool way to explore music.

Classical: Mastery in Precision

Classical music on the saxophone demands precision and lends an air of elegance to our repertoire. Although some might find themselves struggling when first starting out, my online saxophone lessons made it an effortless journey into this sophisticated genre. The key lies in playing each piece like a perfect note—every pitch measured and tuned perfectly. For those who want to play all their time favourites with a touch of class, classical is a rewarding style that expands your saxophone skills and enhances your music takes.

Rock and Pop: Fuelling the Fire

For those looking to inject some fun and energy into their repertoire, rock and pop are great genres to learn on demand. As part of the online saxophone community, I enjoy the freedom to shift from soft ballads to electrifying riffs.

In our sax school, learning these styles feels like a collaboration with the band, each lesson another chord in building confidence and stage presence. Rock and pop music allow sax players to keep pace with modern trends while still connecting with traditional sounds.

Blues: Soulful Expression

The blues genre offers a raw, emotional outlet and is often seen as one of the most passionate forms of music you can play on the sax. With rhythmic patterns and soulful expressions, blues takes you on a journey where every note tells part of a story.

My experience in learning blues through saxophone online has been enriched by personalised guidance and the encouragement of exploring one's creativity. It's a genre where every slide, bend, and raspy note maintains a strong voice—an invitation to improvise and express freely.

If you're just getting started or an advanced player looking for your next challenge, each of these genres offers something unique. My sax school encourages exploring wherever your interests lead—whether it’s navigating classical complexities, mastering jazz techniques, or rocking out with friends. As you move through these styles, you'll find yourself not only a better player but someone who truly connects to the music and to audiences, ready to share the joy of the saxophone in any setting.

I teach saxophone online via Zoom or Skype. They are both free to download and I'm happy to help you get set up if you need, please let me know.
