beginner saxophone players
If you're just starting out on saxophone then there are several things to learn up on first, including the notes (what you do with your fingers), developing a stable embouchure, building breath capacity and control, plus what makes a good tone on saxophone. Get a saxophone teacher if you want to progress faster than teaching yourself. Also, s/he can help you avoid forming 'bad habits' that can take a long time to correct later.
