CONQUER THE SAXOPHONE

SaxTuition Beginner Series

The SaxTuition Beginner Series is a beginner saxophone course with a difference - lessons are taught in a clear, natural and easy to understand way.

Does this sound like you?

You're an adult beginner and you've wanted to learn the saxophone for a long time.

You love the sultry tone of the saxophone, jazz music, and most importantly, you've finally got the time to learn.

So, you start searching online.

You discover the internet is awash with saxophone content, but making sense of it all feels like ice skating whilst learning Arabic at the same time!

(You feel the joy of saxophone slowly starting to fade...)

Sooner or later, you'll start encountering these:

The top 3 challenges of learning sax online.

The first challenge is never knowing what to look for next.

There's a lot of information out there, but what's really important at this early stage in your journey? A common trap beginners can fall into is skipping over some of the most important aspects of playing the saxophone, without even knowing it!

Another frustration is simply finding the right songs to play. Ever looked up a song online only to find it's way outside your skill level? Just finding fun songs and exercises that are matched to your skill level can take countless hours of your time, and still turn up nothing.

When you're ready to get started, it's important to find a course you can trust.

Getting saxophone instruction from an experienced professional is so important if you want to progress quickly and avoid bad habits.

Plus, every course and instructor is different - so connecting with their unique teaching style is also vital to maintaining your progress.

Avoid this pitfall.

...  at all costs!

Spending hours trawling the internet just to look for the right information is exhausting, and getting caught in this trap is the most common reason beginners abandon their saxophone dreams before ever really getting started.

(That's a lot of wasted sax talent...)

Am I too old?

In our experience, one of the biggest concerns adults have about starting the saxophone is thinking they're too old!

Interestingly, this comes as often from those in their 20's and 30's as it does from those over 70.

You are never too old to start an instrument, and the saxophone is no exception. Our students are almost entirely adults, from all across the globe.

Most are just starting their saxophone journey, some are returning after a 50 year hiatus!

What if I'm too old?

The SaxTuition difference.

why our approach matters...

Most online saxophone courses divide the process of learning the saxophone into short, single topic videos - e.g. if you want to learn how to tongue, you watch the 'tonguing' video!

Why doesn't this work? Put simply, that's not how a real lesson is taught! Effective lessons allow you to work on multiple skills at once, and give you carefully chosen songs and exercises to try out your new skills.

The SaxTuition Beginner Series uses real, in-person lessons as inspiration for how each lesson is taught, allowing for faster progress on the saxophone and a much more natural learning experience.

If you enjoyed the first lesson, you'll know what we're talking about!

What's in the series?

12 Lesson Videos

At the cornerstone of the series are 12 saxophone lesson videos (over 3 hours of video content) designed to teach you how to play saxophone from scratch. Each lesson picks up where the last one left off, making the whole series easy to follow!

PDF eBook

For every lesson video, there's an accompanying chapter in the 68 page eBook which backs up the techniques being taught and gives you a ton of fun pieces and exercises to play! If you've never read music before, the book walks you through the steps of understanding music notation.

Playalong Tracks

With over 200 playalong tracks for each and every piece in the book, you'll always have a track to jam along with! Because learning new songs is always easier when you have an audio reference, nearly every piece and exercise in the book comes with slow and fast versions.

How far will i go?


Learn Every Note

The SaxTuition Beginner Series covers every note of the regular range on the saxophone, so you'll learn all the fingerings needed to play your favourite tunes!


Play Great Songs

From jazz, classical, folk and in-between you'll learn a wide variety of fun, challenging songs that you can perform for concerts, friends or family.


Develop musicianship

SaxTuition doesn't just teach the saxophone, we teach you how to be a well rounded musician. That includes reading music, understanding pitch, tuning, rhythm and much more.

Go beyond the basics.

Most beginner saxophone courses wrap up shortly after you've learnt your first few notes and a couple of basic songs.

With the SaxTuition Beginner Series, by the end of the course you'll be playing more challenging songs too!

Just like a real lesson, our lessons cover multiple skills at once, with every song and exercise carefully chosen to develop those skills.

To get an idea of where we build to throughout the series, have a listen to some of the songs in lessons 10 - 12.

"There's a song I'd love to learn!"

Is there a band or song that inspired you to play the saxophone? We get it.

SaxTuition gives you all the tools you need to learn virtually any music you want to play, now and into the future.

How exactly do we do that?

With SaxTuition, you'll learn every note on the saxophone, how to read music, how to articulate and most importantly - how to get a great sound!
