With Saxophone for Fun you will soon learn to:
- produce a good quality sound with your saxophone,
- play, initially, some easy tunes and progressively move to more challenging ones,
- play the saxophone in a musical and expressive way,
- perform in a group with other musicians.
But learning the saxophone requires also some knowledge of music more in general. This means that you will also learn:
- To read the music.
- The principles of music theory.
- The foundations of harmony.
- To evaluate critically other musicians and be able to figure out when a performance is really outstanding. And when it is not!
Thanks to this, you will also become a fully aware music listener. This means that you will be able to understand and appreciate the performances of the great musicians of the past. And of the present.
You will be amazed to discover how the pleasure of listening to music will increase, thanks to your greater musical knowledge.
If you are a more advanced player, and you already know all of this, you will benefit from the experience of your teacher to develop a tailor-made development plan and help you reach your personal objectives.
This may be to get your grades, to improve the quality of your sound, or any other goal you might have.
And talking about the pleasure of listening music and great performances, here is a little gift for you. A nice video of Stan Getz playing Desafinado and The Girl from Ipanema with his magic tenor sax. Enjoy!
