What You Will Learn

By the end of this course, you will have learnt how to make a clear sound on the saxophone over at least 5 notes, a selection of simple tunes and how to read the fundamental elements of musical notation.

Make a good sound

Learning how to hold the saxophone and form the correct lip shape (embouchure) will help you to make a good, consistent sound. You will also start to explore how to control your breathing and tonguing to sound notes clearly.

Play well-known tunes

When you have learnt just a few notes, you will be able to play a selection of tunes in different musical styles.

Learn to read musical notation

As you learn to play different tunes, you will also be introduced to musical notation. As you become more confident reading music, a whole world of musical opportunities will open up!

Make music with others

Making music is a fun and sociable activity. After just a few weeks you will be able to make music with others – in your lessons, with friends or at one of our Music Centres.
