As a saxophone player myself, I can tell you that you don't need much to play the instrument. I suggest:

  • A neck strap
  • Reeds (Around #2 reeds if you are a beginner)
  • An saxophone (obviously)
  • A mouthpiece
  • A saxophone cleaner (basically a wipe on a string)

That's about it. Of course music would come in handy, but if you're just practicing getting the notes out then there's no need yet. Good luck!
