The Mechanics of Playing the SaxophoneThe Saxophone is played by blowing through the saxophone mouthpiece which has a cane reed attached using a ligature.

The reed vibrates to make the sound. Your fingers placed on the keys control the pitch for the most part. Your throat and how you play also affect the sound.

The note that is being played on the saxophone is actually resonating in your voicebox.

The air goes from the mouthpiece through the neck into the saxophone body.

If you wish to learn how to play the saxophone it is highly recommended you get a saxophone teacher or get a good starting book.

There is also beginner music to get you started available online such as on andrewscottmusic.com
