Saxophone

When you play a saxophone, or any reed instrument, the reed vibrates, causing pulsing of the air you are breathing into the instrument. That causes the air in the instrument to also vibrate. Resonance determines frequency and timbre.

The saxophone comes from the two American inventors: Cheech (Richard Marin) and Chong (Tommy Chong). They accidentally built it after attempting to build a high-tech bong, then when they first tested it they realized that it made music. That is why they originally named it the "Musical Bong." Then when they needed extra income to buy more Marijuana, they sold it to Belgium. Later on Belgium named in the Saxophone, and took all the credit for its presence.

The saxophone makes a mix-between woodwind and brass sound. The saxophone has a unique sound though and it varies between which type of saxophone or even the player.

The saxophone generally makes a smooth-bold sound, but it may be hard to understand this in words. Bold in this case would be rich, filled, similar to a bold coffee. Certain people like bold coffees and certain people like a little weaker coffee, or an airier saxophone sound.

That completely depends! talking about an alto saxophone (as this is the most common, especially amongst beginners) the prices can Cary from £200 right up into the thousands. It is possible to but saxes for less than this by buying second hand which can be great value, but as a beginner who may not know what they are looking for if you decide on this option then I would recommend getting whatever you intend to buy checked out by a professional in order to ensure you are not left with huge repair costs. Another downside is that once you play you will realise just how much spit gets into the saxophone and you may be thoroughly put off! All I can say is you get what you pay for- the more expensive the sax the higher quality it will be so it will be easier to play and sound better in the long run.

Considering the face that i own a selmer metal mouthpeice, and people have told me it's worth alot of money, i'd say the instrument it'self it gotta be worth a crap load as long as it's in ok condition.

Brubeck was a piano player. He did not play sax in performance, if at all. His most famous piece was take five and featured a melody written and played by saxophonist Paul Desmond.

The Alto Saxophone is in the key of E flat. That means that an E flat on the Alto Saxophone is the same pitch as a C on a piano or other concert pitch instrument.

The character 'Mona Sax' has two different appearances, referring to the critically acclaimed Max Payne, and Max Payne 2: The Fall Of Max Payne, games.

In Max Payne 2: The Fall Of Max Payne, 'Mona Sax' was modelled by the beautiful *Kathy Tong* and/but was voiced with the talented voice of Wendy Hoopes.

Kathy Tong and her appearance as the character Mona Sax in Max Payne 2: The Fall Of Max Payne, have an amazing resemblance.

The most popular members of the saxophone family are the soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophone. The soprano is based in the key of B-flat, the alto E-flat, the tenor B-flat and the baritone E-flat. There have been other variations of the saxophone as well, including the sopranino (e-flat), bass (b-flat) contra bass (e-flat) and c melody saxophone.

finger an A with the left hand (the first two keys your fingers are on), and add the last of the three rectangular keys with the palm of your right hand, located near the hook. Fingering diagrams are extremely helpful in these situations.

a different guy,

WRONG! you use both of your pointer fingers.

C is the note after the note where you have a space in your fingers, and E is all of them down apart from the bottom one. (Keep the space at A and only the buttons. Not the different keys.) For a higher octave, hit the octave key by the thumb.

An alto sax varies in prices depending where you are. It also depends on if you want a professional alto sax or a student alto sax. A professional alto sax usually costs about 2,000 to 3,000 dollars. A student alto sax will usually cost about 250 to 1,000 dollars. So make sure you really want your own instrument because it is quite an investment.

The AMEB (Australian Musical Examinations Board) has a number of grades for practical clarinet examination ranging from preliminary (less than grade 1 ) to FMusA (Musical Luminary) After prelimnary the grades range from 1 - 8 tan AMusA (Assosciate Diploma of Music in Australia) LMus (Licentiate Diploma of Music) and then for musical luminaries FMusA ( Fellowship Diploma of Music ) There are other exams you must take however to receive certificates for the practical exams taken Eg To gain you AMusA diploma you need to have completed Gr5 music theory or musicianship.

Not very big at all, compared to tenor and bari saxes. Its about a little under two feet long. I'm not very tall at all (5'1) and can play easily. I could also play when I was 4'11 so I hope I could help

Hi Felicia,Actually, there are some things you can prcitcae while watching TV, like, making chord changes. You don't necessarily have to make any noise, just let your fingers of your left hand prcitcae moving from one chord to another chord. Maybe you and your Mom could come up with a compromise of some sort? Like, you prcitcae at a certain time every day, so she knows when it will begin and end? Or, you find a space to prcitcae in your home that it quiet and private? Believe it or not, some people prcitcae in bathrooms or big closets sometimes!

Baritone&Tenor saxes

How to tell depends whether you're talking about one person singing out of tune with others (who should be singing the same note), or one-person singing out of tune (with nobody else on a similar part.)

The answer comes out of physics. If two (or more) people are singing very nearly, but not quite, the same pitch, you will hear "beats". That means that you will hear moments, repeating in a regular pattern, in which the sound seems louder or softer. It comes from constructive and destructive interference, and the frequency of the beats is equal to the difference in frequency of the fundamental pitches. Think of it like common multiples. If one pitch (frequency in wave form) reaches a peak every 4 hundredths of a second (25 times per second, or 25 hertz), and a second pitch reaches its peak every 5 hundredths of a second (20 times per second, or 20 hertz), those two peaks will coincide with each other once every 20 hundredths of a second (5 times per second, or 5 hertz, the difference between the original two pitches/frequencies.) Note that if the difference is large enough, you will hear them as two distinct pitches, rather than "beats" or an out-of-tune note. So the long answer here involves the physics and calculations, but the simple one is that if you hear beats, the two pitches are not in tune with each other.

If you're singing a solo, there isn't anything quite so easily quantifiable to the untrained ear. You can learn over time to hear relations of pitches, but the math/physics don't translate as directly into the hearing on this one. "In-tune" as a concept doesn't change much, but it's in-tune based on relations to the pitch where you started, and not to a pitch that is still ringing at a given later moment, for ease of comparison. If you're asking primarily in order to keep yourself in tune, I suggest singing with a choir, where you will hear beats if your section doesn't match pitch quite accurately. Once you know what to listen for, it won't be difficult to notice you're out of tune, though fixing it is not as simple. As a soloist, you'll need to have a good ear since you don't have that comparison. However, it is very often vocal technique that causes people to sing a note sharp or flat, rather than failure to hear the note accurately. A very general rule, though, is that sharpness is caused by tension in the voice, and flatness is caused by insufficient breath support. So those are the things to address if you notice (by comparison with another instrument if you need to) that you're often going sharp or flat. The details of how to fix this can involve considerable training, and you should seek a voice teacher.

Hope that helps!

The woodwind family of instruments is called as such because the noise is produced primarily by blowing air against a reed (the saxophone and clarinet) or across an edge (the flute). However, there are multiple types of each subset of instrument. For example, whistles and recorders are included in the flute family, even though one does not directly blow air across a surface. This is because you are directing the air across a surface by hand position and overall force behind the air itself.

Sometimes you can type "tenor saxophone sheet music" into your Google browser, and it might give you some free downloads of sheet music, but sometimes some websites will require you to make an account and usually pay for the music.

You can also go to your local music store and ask for tenor sax books. They'll probably have books with popular songs, songs from movies, certain genres, that kind of stuff. Hope this helps :)

There are four instrument families in the orchestra: Strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. The following are instruments that are regularly in an orchestra:

Stringed instruments in an orchestra include: Violins, violas, cellos, and double basses

Woodwind instruments in an orchestra include: Flutes, piccolo, oboes, clarinets, and bassoons

Brass instruments in an orchestra include: Trumpets, French horns, trombones, and tuba.

Percussion instruments include: Snare drum, bass drum, chimes, xylophone, timpani, triangle, tambourine, and many more, depending on the song.

Some pieces written for an orchestra require extra instruments, such as:

Harp (strings), piano, saxophone (woodwind), English horn (woodwind), and euphonium (brass)

A saxophone is an musical instrument that is played by blowing through a mouthpiece (usually made of plastic or hard rubber, some are made of metal for a different sound) that has a thin piece of wood on it called a reed. When you blow air, the reed vibrates and produces a sound. The thickness of the reed varies. The thicker the reed it, the harder it is to make it vibrate. A saxophone has many keys that you press down or lift up do produce different notes. This is how it makes sound, but there really is no way to tell you how to PLAY a saxophone and make music, for it takes lots of practice and there are many techniques and skills that are helpful/required.

Yes, it is. Additionally, they're both in the key of B-flat. I'm not positive about the altissimo register (notes above the high-F, which are rarely called for except when very advanced), but I believe they are also the same.
