Many adult students will cracking or feel suffocated when playing. In fact, this is because you use too much strength. In addition, many students will feel nervous unconsciously when playing, and sometimes their mouth will also tightly bite the saxophone and blow their mouth, so the reed will appear some unpleasant music when it is excessively squeezed.
How long does it take to play a good piece of music?
There are many adult students who often think well before learning saxophone: I want to play some pop music! I want to play some better music! But learning any musical instrument must start from the basics, rather than eager to learn all at once.
Many other students may say, "Before learning, I found out on the Internet that this instrument is relatively easy to master. I can play the music in about two weeks. Why should I practice basic skills?". There are some exaggerated recruiting on the internet: you can play music in two weeks/learn to play in one week. Not only saxophone, but also the piano have a one-week crash course. But these are some gimmicks. Some cunning businessmen often confuse people by making false statements because of their ignorance of the instrument. Note that there is a big difference between the meaning of the two words "playing well" and "able to play". In fact, learning everything needs to start from the most basic content. If you learn all the basic knowledge, can you learn and play more music by yourself?
Generally speaking, the learning and training of basic skills should last for at least 2 to 3 months if you want to learn the musical instrument saxophone. The specific needs to depend on the students' learning progress. Of course, you can learn some small etudes and music intermittently during the period of learning basic skills. When you learn basic skills well, you can quickly perform and learn independently, and you can play the music as you like. If you have a desire for the performance effect and timbre, you can continue to learn in stages to improve your performance level.
