Saxophone

The volume of a saxophone is loud because it is made of brass, even though it is in the woodwind family. It is in the wood wind family because it uses a reed and uses all ten fingers to play.

P.S. A twelve year old wrote this and i am a clarinet player never a sax just a clarinet!! CLARINET RULES

Many have said a curved soprano is more supportive and makes a much clearer sound. I would advise you to get a curved if you are learning.

No, the flute is a woodwind but is not a reed instrument because it produces sound by directing air across the edge of a hole in a cylindrical tube. Reed instruments focus air into a mouthpiece causing the 'reed' to vibrate. Examples include the clarinet, saxophone, the oboe and the bassoon.

Because the saxophone was invented after the Symphony Orchestra. The sax is incorporated into some songs for Symphony orchestra because those pieces are quite modern. I guess symphony orchestras don't like saxophones because it drowns out other instruments because it is such a loud woodwind. But, of course, the saxophone is great in jazz bands and modern pieces.

the tenor saxophone is woodwind insterment

I would say no because an orchestra consists if string instruments (preferably violins, cellos, etc.) I myself am a sax player and saxophones play in bands, not orchrestras.

In a symphony orchestra, saxophones play in the woodwind section. Orchestras have string sections, woodwinds, brass and percussion.

I don't know but my friend once tried to get the notes for Dr Who on violin and it cost £60. So I wouldn't bother with sheet music and just try it by thinking of the notes and trying to match them with the sax. That's what I do and it helps you memorise the notes without having to read from the sheet.

Bobby Keys. He also played sax with the Rolling Stones tours.

the air is pushed through the reed and makes the various sounds

Yes, the cold temperature affects the quality of a saxophone because the metal becomes very cold causing the instrument to go flat. Opposite: Very hot temperatures can cause a saxophone to become more sharp than usual also. Temperature can also effect the saxophone reed, causing it to dry up or full of spit.

because some guy had a great idea to make a clarinet, but sometimes it was impossible to get to one note to the next, so people kept adding different levers and things to make it playable. Although it is still impossible to get from an f to an f-sharp to a d.

The saxophone may play either melody or harmony. However, as an instrument that was designed to simulate the human vocal apparatus it often tends to play melody. The alto sax is more likely to play melody (as opposed to harmony) than the tenor sax, being a higher-pitched instrument.

What I would do is take it to your local music shop and ask the clerk. Lots of music stores sell special cleaning materials and cleansers for instruments. If you cant find a music store, the best thing you can do right now is take a rag with luke-warm water and gently clean the keys, the bell, and your mouthpiece, but be sure NOT to get the pads under the keys wet! If they get wet, they soak up the water, would become bloated, and fall off, which will cost upwards of $200 to repair and replace.

There isn't really any perfect age to start learning the saxophone. It is just like learning any instrument it is better if you start as early as you can but you can never be too old. I would say the best age would be about eight years old but do not stress if you are older than that you can start at any time.

I've been in music all my life, and I confess that I've never heard the term "treble saxophone"

I have been involved in the repair of wodwind most of my life and served in an army band for 7 and a half years including boys service. There are two saxophones that I have heard of that are "abnormal". The first was the " HIGH " sax which I believe to have been in C. The second of these was the TREBLE sax which I have seen and had a fundamental lowest note of G concert. There are examples of this which are generally regarded as children's saxophones. I have also heard of a sax in F but never seen one.

Eddie Money's current guitarist is Tommy Girvin. He has been with Eddie Money's band for the past 22 years. However, on Eddie Money's self-titled first album, which included the hits "Two Tickets to Paradise" and "Baby Hold On," Jimmy Lyon was the band's guitarist. On later albums, Eddie Money's albums would feature multiple guitarists (including Lyon and other studio musicians.)

It is not hard to blow into, in terms of how hard to blow into the saxophone, but it is hard to produce a good tone on any saxophone (more so the soprano saxophone). Some people get it quickly some don't, the only cure is practise, practise, practise...

No, a saxophone has keys like other woodwind instruments. Brass instruments have valves.

To change the pitch on an Alto Saxophone push and pull the mouthpiece on/off the cork. To make your pitch less flat push on and to make your pitch less sharp pull off. (Make sure you are using cork grease on your cork so that you are not damaging the mouthpiece, cork, and neck.) You can also try changing the pitch, put less pressure on your lips to make the pitch drop, and vice versa.

low pitched if it isn't obvious! The Saxophone is very high pitched and it sounds like a little girl screaming at the top of her lungs but the bass saxophone is very very low it sounds like somebody is like woooooow very slowly and loudly at the same time

John Coltrane change the music by reaching new ways to express himself.The ways that was different then the usual one.In free jazz he made new foundations of music that allowed deeper expression of him and the whole universe.

When people hear new ways to play and accept it the music start to change the style and expression.
