ALTO SAX

We are limited to between 8-10 beginning students.  The Saxophone is a single reed instrument. Saxophone posture is important for the neck strap balance. Beginning Saxophone students stand up in the first semester of learning. A “puckery” set of lips and pronounced overbite are helpful in learning the saxophone. Saxophone students will start on the alto saxophone.  Students will have an opportunity to play tenor or baritone saxophone in middle school and high school band. 

Recommended Instruments are rent-to-own  from a music store from $40-$80 per month and is the most expensive wind instrument.  It is not provided by the school. Good alternative instruments to the saxophone are the flute or clarinet. Students must also provide the recommended reeds.
