Saxophone learns playing skills.
First, breathing. Use abdominal breathing to sink the breath into the abdomen, and then exhale. When inhaling, the stomach expands and when exhaling, the stomach relaxes. Don't lift your shoulders when breathing. Once you lift your shoulders, you are not breathing properly. You can put your hand next to your mouth when you practice at first. If the exhaled breath is hot, it means it is right.
Second, the mouth shape. Smile at the corners of your mouth, with the corners of your mouth forced. The lower lip covers the lower teeth, and the upper lip is slightly inward, containing about one third of the flute head. When you put it in your mouth, lift the saxophone slightly, and don't let the flute head press your lower lip. The saxophone vibrates because of the whistle. When you play for the first time, the vibration may be slightly uncomfortable. Saxophone belongs to wind music, with a loud voice, which can be a little deafening. These can be gradually adapted through long-term practice. Third, finger position.
1, left hand: except for special marks, white keys are often used, and fingers are always placed on them, ready to be pressed at any time. The little finger is hung at the mark. When playing bass, the thumb is placed in the black part to keep the saxophone balanced. When using treble, hold it down.
2. Right hand: In addition to special marks, white keys are often used. Put your finger on it and be ready to press it. The little finger hangs on the mark, and the thumb hooks the mark to keep the instrument balanced.
Fourth, practice methods.
1, practice long notes and keep the volume and pitch unchanged.
2, practice syllables, first slow and then block, step by step.
3. Refer to the music books of popular songs and practice some simple and familiar songs.
4. Pay attention to the maintenance of musical instruments.
