SAXOPHONE

FAQs

What is the best age to start saxophone lessons?

We recommend that if your child is showing an interest in learning an instrument, any age is the best age. As a parent, you’ll know when that time is. Is your child playing the coffee table like they’re the next Alicia Keys or playing air guitar to their favorite songs or singing in the shower and everywhere they go? These are all clear signs that you have a musician in the making.

We’ve had incredible success with saxophone students starting as young as 6 years old. The key is not to expect miracles and trust that our professional instructors are working hard to motivate your child to be the best they can be. Slowly, skills will be developed, and before you know it, your child will be playing like a pro.

Do I need to own an instrument?

We definitely feel it is a great idea to have your own saxophone, but if you are testing the waters and would rather not make the investment, you can try renting one.

Which saxophone is easiest to learn?

We suggest you start with the alto saxophone as it is smaller than the tenor sax and requires less air, thus making it an ideal choice for beginners.

How long until I’m good?

While everyone is different, the bottom line is practice. The more time you spend with your saxophone, the faster you will experience ability-changing results. If we’re doing our job right by keeping you motivated and inspired, you or your child will have to work at putting the saxophone down.

Can I play in a band?

Another valuable learning tool we offer that will greatly increase your musical knowledge is our live performance programs. We’ve seen musicians skyrocket to greatness when working with our amazing instructors and other musicians in a live band setting.

Check out our JamCore program that is designed for intermediate musicians who are ready to perform live. It is quite affordable and guaranteed to advance your playing to the next level! We also offer advanced band programs such as BandCore and Rockstar Pro.
