Saxophone Warm Ups - E Major Scale

In exactly the same way that Athletes need to warm up their bodies before competing, we Musicians need to warm up too.

We can progress further and faster with our chosen craft (saxophone !!!) and develop good habits which in turn make our playing easier and more enjoyable – if we do some saxophone warm ups.   And then a wonderful cycle starts !

The example here in this saxophone lesson is learning how to play E Major on the saxophone.  Please go out of your way to apply this concept to your other scales !

Saxophone Embouchure

How to use your mouth and face to play your saxophone.

Learning how to play the saxophone is not quite a case of simply shoving your sax in your mouth and blowing.

You need to hold you face in a certain way, hold your mouth in a certain way and use your tongue and breathing in a certain way.

In this saxophone podcast we discuss what you embouchure is and how to use it :-)

How To Play American Woman On The Saxophone

American Woman by The Guess Who is great rock song recorded in 1969 and released in 1970.  It was also covered by Lenny Kravitz in the late 1990’s when once again it became a well known hit song.

It’s got great guitars, great bass, great drums, great vocals and a fantastic rock feel.  As a result it fits right in here at HowToPlayTheSax.com !!

Cissy Strut by The Meters is perhaps one of the funkiest songs in the world in space…..and this makes it ideal for learning how to play the saxophone.

So, if you are a fan of The Funk – and particularly wanting to learn how to play some great songs on your saxophone – then Cissy Strut is a VERY good song to have under your fingers.
