TIPS-LEARN TO PLAY THE saxophone

There are several requirements in playing Saxophone al:
Breathing techniques, Tone (Ambusheer) & fingering
BREATH: using abdominal and chest breathing, abdominal breathing means there is a way to take the breath right because the stomach can hold 12 liters of air, while the chest only holds 5 liters of air.

How to practice abdominal breathing al follows. :
Inhale by mouth and then stored in the stomach, the stomach tends to swell up so that the air is felt in the abdomen to the waist, then gently remove the hiss (efficient) and do it again (if the chest is expanded, it is called chest breathing, but when the chest is not moving and abdominal bloating means abdominal breathing has been done correctly).
Inhale by mouth and then stored in the stomach, so the stomach and then enlarged issued sedikit2 the hiss (like stomach pumping the air out sebagian2).
The recommended use abdominal breathing so that we can blow the saxophone is stronger and longer, while the breath of the chest may be used for emergencies (when we have to get a quick breath)

TONE: the most important thing in playing the saxophone, because the tone / sound is round / thick / bright to be tunable at the hearing and in harmony with other instruments.
How to practice:
Practice long tones at the beginning stacato way to tone the whole tone chromatic or all of the basic tone.
Practice long tones softly (piano) and loud tone (forte) or cressendo and decressendo.
Practice the lower and upper tone
Stacato practice and legato
Minimal practice long tones every day at least 15 minutes

Fingering: must be disciplined to use techniques that speed, accuracy and smooth each valve is pressed does not ring.

How to practice to become good fingering al:
Finger spacing of the keys / valves should remain close to the keys, so there is no distance when the finger does not press the keys.
Train a particular tone repeatedly that its position is difficult as C to D, C # to D, D # to E, F to F #, F to G #, F # to G #, G # to A, G kw A #, G # to A #, A # to B , A # to C, B to C etc.
Nada2 train chord like C - E - G - C, C - F, A, C, D, G, B, D and patern / etude / blues scale al (CD #-FF #-GA #), pentatonic (CDEGAC)
Sigh Reading and Primavista
Read music is one of the requirements in playing music, because to read music is a medium to play saxophone in a group with other musical instruments (band, ensemble, orchestra) to match, accurate and appropriate arrangements are expected by the arranger, composer and conductor.

In addition to read music helpful to know and learn lagu2 standards, pop and jazz music from anywhere and learn buku2 scale2, patern and improvisation of buku2 contoh2.

Primavista the accuracy of reading musical notes directly and quickly, so to be able to master primavista read music practice every day (at least 30 minutes).

Improvisation

Improvisation can be learned by meeting several requirements as follows. :
Mastered an understanding of chord contents and functions, so it's best to learn the saxophone to learn piano / guitar.
Practice patern / major etude, major6, dominan7, major7, major9, major11, major13, minor, minor6, minor7, minor9, diminished, augtemented, whole tone, etc.
Practicing the blues scale as CD #, F, F #, A #, C, pentatonic scale as CDEGAC etc..
Solvegio means capable of mastering the tone in the note numbers.
Many of the world as a reference CD saxophonist David Sanborn, Ernie Watts, Charlie Parker, Dave Koz, Stan Getz, pacuito de riviera, dave vallentine, Winton marsallis etc.
For those who just want to learn to play the song with a saxophone would have to master the order of the song (bait1, bait2, reff, bait3 or chorus) and not knowing the song, at least be able to feel nada2 of the song.

The duration of music study for our success story

How long does it actually need to learn music? A year, two years, three years or what?
That's the question that I often hear from people who want to learn music. Also from parents who want their children to play music. Then, if there is a measure of time to learn music? Yet to this day I still continue to learn and recognize the fact that many are not I know about music.
But let's, I try to invite you to measure the time to learn music, based on hours of study are applied to the formal school or music lessons. The average one-hour music school lessons apply to face meeting with the instructor within one week. Or four hours in a month. While the degree courses usually must be followed for six months. So if the count is calculated, it takes 24 hours to complete one level (grade). Where each of the levels that typically have their own textbooks.
So you can imagine a textbook study of music in just 24 hours!
That's rough calculations. Because in reality, no one can eat textbook that day and night and can instantly play musical instruments perfectly. Talented he is, what else is not talented. One hour face to face the music school was applied to evaluate the extent to which the development of a given exercise. Moreover, the addition of new training material which will then be evaluated again next week. And so on, until the 24-week period is completed and must take the exam. If not passed, it repeats all over again!
Then, when mahirnya that learning just one hour a week?
In general the instructor will recommend to expedite the materials given out of hours learning. At least one hour a day! So if the count is calculated, seven hours a week or 168 hours to master the content of music lessons.
Is that already passed the book can already proficient?
Not necessarily! Because the contents of a book on the first level music lessons often dominated by the subject matter is only the basics of reading musical notes. At least if it is past the first book, we are good at reading musical notes. It's the most basic and a provision to move to the next level. To a two-volume book.
So how many books have advanced to the master?
To my knowledge, there are about 10 to 12 books that should be resolved in a particular music school. But I do not know whether their own instructors have completed the 12 books it or not. That means it took about six years to complete a formal musical education, and even then if no repetition.
Then, when we can accompany the singing?
It depends. If you have a strong musical talent, at the beginning of any level you will be able to accompany the song. With records, you pretty much mastered the chords on the fingers of your left hand and pretty much mastered the tone scale on the right hand fingers. You can play music just by listening to songs from cassette tape or CD. Without the need to find a notation first. But if you are less gifted, to finish 12 books also may be difficult to play your own songs. That happens, you can play the score or scores a song with a smooth and then memorize it. But if there is no score or partiturnya, you will have difficulty.
I've seen an orchestra pianist Telerama on television decades ago (forgot which year, because it was so long ago). If no one remembers the time he played with Jimmy Manoppo (drums) accompany the Star Radio and Television Festival. When accompanied the participants in the race, game piano keyboard and sweet. However, when calculating the value of the gap by a jury and there are participants who spontaneously contributed his voice, like a new game to learn. There is no harmonization with other players. The reason, he did not have partiturnya and do not know the song!
Can we conclude that the talent or the talent also has a huge role in terms of learning music. Without the talent that does not mean you can not learn music, but it takes time and determination to train your skills. Because playing music is a skill that every moment should be trained. Artist Paul Cezanne once said, "for me just one percent talent, 99 percent of the seriousness and exercise!" For any musician classmates Purwa Caraka admitted if it is not playing piano or keyboard for a day, their fingers would be stiff.

KORG AX1500G TONEWORKS, guitarist million digital effect

Explanation of the sound wave

Sound waves consist of air molecules vibrate back and forth. Each time, the molecules were packed in several places, resulting in a high pressure region, but elsewhere stretched, resulting in a low pressure area. High and low pressure waves alternately moving in the air, spreading from the sound source. This sound wave delivers sound to the human ear, sound waves are longitudinal waves.

Molecule is defined as a group of atoms (at least two) that bind to each other is very strong (covalent) in a specific arrangement and electrically neutral and fairly stable.According to this definition, different molecules with polyatomic ions. In organic chemistry and biochemistry, the term is used in a less rigid molecules, organic molecules and biomolecules that were considered included the charged molecule.

In the kinetic theory of gases the term molecule is often used to refer to any gas particle does not depend on its composition.According to this definition noble gas atoms is considered as a molecule, although these gases consist of a single atom that is not binding.
A molecule may consist of atoms that berunsur same (eg oxygen O2), or composed of different elements (eg water H2O). Complex atoms and the associated non-covalently (eg, bound by hydrogen bonds and ionic bonds) is generally not regarded as a single molecule.

Basic theory of sound

Sound or sound is a mechanical compression or longitudinal waves that propagate through a medium. Medium or intermediate substances may be liquid, solid, gas. So, for example, sound waves can propagate in the water, coal, or air.
Most of the sound is a combination of various signals, but the pure sound can theoretically be explained by the speed or frequency of oscillation is measured in Hertz (Hz) and amplitude or loudness of sound measurements in decibels.

Humans hear when sound waves, the vibrations in the air or other medium, to the human eardrum. Limit the frequency of sound can be heard by the human ear is approximately from 20 Hz to 20 kHz in general amplitude with variations in the response curve. Sounds above 20 kHz are called ultrasound and below 20 Hz is called infrasound.

Teory Music for Good Newbie

Music theory is a branch of science which explains the elements of music. These disciplines include the development and application of methods for analyzing and composing music, and the relationship between music and nature music notation.
The things learned in music theory include, for example voice, tone, notation, rhythm, melody, Kontrapun Music,harmony, form of music, Theory Creating Songs.

Vote

The theory explains how the sound of music notated or written, and how sound is captured in the minds of listeners. In music, the sound waves are not usually discussed in the wavelength and period, but the frequency. Basic aspects of sound in music is usually described in the tala (UK: pitch, ie pitch), duration (how long the sound), intensity, and timbre (sound color).

Tone

Sound can be divided into a tone that has a certain pitch or tuning by frequency or by the relative distance of the high-pitch tone benchmark. Tuning differences between the two tones is called an interval. The tone can be set in steps of different tones. The most common scales are major scales, minor scales, and pentatonic scales. Fundamental tone of a musical work to determine the frequency of each tone in the work. Diatonic tones in western music theory were identified into 12 tones, each of which is named the tones C, D, E, F, G, A and B. As well as the chromatic tones Cis / Des, Dis / Es, Fis / Ges, Gis / As, and Ais / Bes.

Rhythm

Rhythm is the arrangement of sound in time. Bar is a division of the beats in time. Time signature indicates the number of beats in a bar and not where the calculated and considered as a single tap. Certain tones can be accentuated by the provision of pressure (and the distinction of duration).

Notation

Music notation is written depiction of the music. The beam notation, pitch depicted vertically while time (rhythm) is depicted horizontally. The two elements form the staff, in addition to the basic tone cues, tempo, dynamics, and so forth.

Melody

Melody is a series of tones in time. The series can be sounded alone, ie without accompaniment, or may be part of a series of chords in time (usually a series of high tones in these chords).

Melody tones are formed from a series of horizontally. Melody is the smallest unit of Motif. Is a three-note motive or intent or that have musical significance. Motif is a combination of Semi phrases, and phrases are a mix of Semi phrase (sentence). A The most common melody usually consists of two phrases, namely Semi interrogative sentence (Antisiden) and sentence answer (consequent).

Harmony

Harmony in general can be said as the event two or more different tones sounded simultaneously with the height, although harmony can also occur when the tones are sounded in sequence (as in the arpeggio). Harmony of three or more tones are sounded simultaneously is usually called a chord.
