Saxophone Lesson Basics
There are three main sizes of sax: alto, tenor and baritone. They all have the same fingerings, so if you can play one, you can play them all.
Alto Saxophone
The alto sax is in the key of Eb. It's small, light and easy to handle. It's the best saxophone for young kids and is the size almost everyone starts with.
Tenor Saxophone
The tenor sax is in Bb. It's the most commonly played in rock, pop and jazz, so students often start on alto and move up to tenor as they get older or more experienced.
Baritone Saxophone
The baritone - or bari - sax is the lowest, the rarest and most expensive of the saxophones. It has a deep, low growl and is usually played by experienced players.

Lessons For Beginning Sax Players
Kids and Very Young Beginners
Saxophone students usually start around nine years old on the alto. For younger students, or kids on the small side,
the clarinet is a good place to start. For very young kids the recorder is a great place to start. It can be taught to kids as young as three or four.
Adults
If you have lungs and a mouth, you can play the saxophone and it's never too late to start. If you're an adult and just starting, we'll help you find the right instrument and start strong!
