How to practice saxophone well

First, the practice reached a "bottleneck period": I once encountered this situation, which was very distressing during that time, and finally solved it ~ The reason is that I have actually played many songs, but since the day I started learning, I just blindly pursued difficult skills and didn't pay attention to the tension and expressiveness of songs! In other words, many people say that China people have great skills, but there is no music and no soul of music! Although, not all teachers in China can make Chu explain the background of music clearly. However, "Keep in mind" must seriously understand the connotation of music! Understand with your heart, don't talk about the so-called technology blindly, because, at home, I dare say that your technology is good, and there are thousands of people who are better than you in Qian Qian! That's what I really feel. Saxophone is an infinite technical instrument! The expression is different! Whether it is classical, modern or jazz! In fact, their gameplay is the same ~ just some names are different! So what I want to say is, remember to know what's in the song! (Of course, you don't need to know the ancestors of other composers for eight generations ~ but at least you can feel the spirit that the work wants to express)

Second, we should practice scales more. The scale is the most important to improve our skills. Some technical etudes: it is not enough to practice saxophone only with long notes, scales, three-degree touches, chromatic scales and four degrees! I think the way to really practice saxophone basic skills and improve skills is to practice etudes seriously. Improve your professional level through various etudes.

Example: ① The pronunciation is not good enough: A friend said that the etude with a slower pronunciation was played well, but when it was fast, it was found that the pronunciation was not clean. Then let's do a series of targeted exercises for pronunciation! Find etudes with different difficulties to practice! The most basic thing is to practice each mode scale, and finally the speed reaches 132. Give it a try! Of course, the sooner the better! It's all single vomiting!

2 fingering problem: it is the speed and transformation of fingers when practicing saxophone. Perhaps it is because the etudes selected when practicing basic etudes are relatively simple, and there is no unpredictable comprehensive etudes. It is best to find some comprehensive etudes to practice, and it is best to practice some etudes with large interval span and strong readability, with temporary ascending and descending signs in the middle.

③ It is best to choose more slow etudes to practice: slow etudes train musicality and stable breath. . . Very fast etudes are a good way to improve your skills by training your fingers' flexibility and sensitivity.
