Hello
I am thinking of buying a sax to play it ,because it really attracts me .
So I would really appreciate it if you could help me with your answers.
Questions
1.How much time is requested to learn playing sax ,meaning a very basic level ,like beeing able to play "simple" [not difficult or so I think] pieces like Dave Brubeck's Take 5 ?
Is it possible for someone to pick it and be able to play in say 2 months time? [please note 😛lay means a very basic level for start].I can read music staff .I also have some music theory and Classical harmony knowledge.
2.Is it possible to practice in the night using a lower volume level ? or does it have to be loud?Thats a very important issue for me ,because I want to be able to practice whenever I feel like it.
3.I am considering a Tenor sax .Is this hard to make it produce a sound ?Would another type would be easier? [although I really like the Tenor's sound & I dont want any other type]
4.Unfortunately ,I can't afford a quality sax so its going to be a cheap one.Seller claim thts its recommended by saxontheweb site.Will a cheap sax gonna make my life harder?
5.Is it hard to maintain the instrument in a good condition?
6.Why there are different mouth reed sizes? [i m so clueless im not sure even what those are called] ?I know this doesnt has to do with sax tuning?
Well,thanks for taking the time reading this
