Scales and Arpeggios

(1)

Category : Learning to play the Saxophone

I have gotten to the part of my saxophone book where they switch from melodies to scales and arpeggios.  I started off today with the key of G, and went through four different exercises.  I should have them all down very well by the end of the week.  My endurance while playing still isn’t very long.  After playing the four exercises I couldn’t go on any longer.  I’ve only been playing for just over two months now, so it may still take some more time.  Right now I just break up my practice sessions into 15 minute segments so I can get as much practice in per day.

At the end of the week, I’ll record the scales and post it online so everyone can hear how it is going.

I find it’s worth doing some exercise as well – stuff like jogging or cycling that gets the heart pumping. Breathing exercises are something you can do any time, too – you don’t have to be playing your horn to get better at it!
