Saxophone Basics. Links to get you started playing the Saxophone.
The internet has a million great resources for Saxophone Players, but finding them can be a chore. Many great musicians and teachers lack the know how to deal with Search Engines and have wonder information that you will never find.
We are going to try to find the good Sax Links and get them organized for you!
I would appreciate any help you might be able to give. Have a great Saxophone Site in your Favorites that has helped you a lot? Email me with the site for our editors to review and attempt to categorize in the Saxophone Portal. Much thanks in advance for your time and contribution.
Starting with the basics...
Saxophone Fingering Charts - LINK
The Good Oil - Fingering Chart - Available in PDF to print. Saxophone Fingering Charts work for every Saxophone - Alto, Tenor, Bari, Soprano and odd other Saxes too. Direct Link here.
Woodwind.ORG - Saxophone Fingering Chart. Don't be confused by all the option fingerings. The Basic Saxophone Fingerings are the ones you want to use. The options are for problem solving, and are used on rare occasion.
What is Altissimo? It is the really high notes above the top note of the Saxophone. Getting these notes requires an understanding of Overtones on the Saxophone, practice playing overtones and a long time to master control of this top range of the sax.
Pete Thomas.com - Altissimo Fingerings. Sound Clip and picture based fingerings on a real sax. Pete is a really good player and he has uploaded toms of resources for the sax player. This link goes to high note studies.
Online Saxophone Lessons - Subscription and online private lessons
SaxophoneLessons.com is set up with free articles and pay lessons via Skype. There does seem like there are lots of resources and lots of ads.... Listening to the sax samples the playing level is not the greatest but adequate for any new student thru intermediate playing styles. He does have books uploaded (not sure about copyright issues) and samples of him playing exercises in MP3 - a reference is good.
Saxophone Player dotnet!
