In this course, we go over assembling the sax, disassembling the sax, how to properly align your reed, proper mouthpiece placement, embouchure training, breathing techniques, and posture. We then start you playing the alto saxophone learning your first notes and a couple songs with increasing notes and difficulty and we go throughout the course.

This course is to be used at your pace and when you can schedule time to concentrate on the course for the optimum success.

We make use to the Standards of Excellence Book 1 for the Alto Saxophone in this course. We suggest purchasing the book either through out store or through the publisher's website.
