Students will expand their learning of the saxophone through rhythm, technique and the performance of simple songs. Week 1- Review of "basic" saxophone needs. Including but not limited to the following: hand position, embouchure, note names for the first 5 notes, basic rhythms (whole, half and quarter notes/ rests). Performance of simple songs. Week 2- Review of week 1 songs. We will continue with the addition of 2 right hand notes (F natural and F sharp) and perform songs. Week 3- Review of previous weeks. We will continue adding new notes with E and D, also in the performance through simple songs. Week 4- Review of previous weeks. We will begin to add warm-ups and long tones for tuning, while continue to add simple songs. Begin to add scales (B-flat major) to our warm-up, as well as eighth notes to our rhythms in new songs! This class is structured in a hands-on fashion where students will be the active participants as the teacher models the procedures. Lessons are interactive, students will play most of the time and are encouraged to ask questions.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to perform simple songs using the left hand of the instrument and begin using the right hand with proper hand position. Students will perform basic rhythmic skills and learn notation reading.
