  • Writing for Saxophones
    WRITING MUSIC FOR SAXOPHONES This is a short information sheet for musicians who wish to create clear, easy to read music for the saxophone. It is based upon my experiences as a jazz saxophone player and the common mistakes that people make when setting out their parts. It covers the basics such as range, transposition, blending, use of altissimo etc. TRANSPOSITION This section is a brief introduction to the concept of transposition. If you already understand how transposing instruments work in principal then please skip to the section entitled 'range' where you can see how to put this information in to practice for particular saxophones. Most saxophones are transposing instruments. This means that the note 'C' on the saxophone does not sound at the same pitch as 'C' on the piano. The common keys which saxophones are made in are B flat (which includes tenor and soprano as well as less common bass and soprillo saxophones) and E flat (alto and baritone, as well as contra bass and sopranino). There are also 'C melody' saxophones, which are made at concert pitch and do not require transposition, however these are less common. When a saxophonist plays a C on a B flat saxophone such as the tenor, the note that comes out sounds at the same pitch as concert B flat (B flat on the piano). Similarly, on an E flat saxophone such as the alto, a C comes out at the same pitch as concert E flat. On a B flat saxophone all the note letter names are one tone higher than they would be on the piano (i.e.

LESSON REVIEW: In the second lesson, we gave you an in depth look at the brass family. The brass instruments are made from a mix of metals and all make sound as the player vibrates his/her lips into a mouthpiece. THE WOODWIND FAMILY: Now, let’s learn about the woodwind family. There are many members of the woodwind family, and we want you to know their differences. You have three goals: STUDENT OUTCOMES: Know how the woodwind instruments make their sounds.

  • Clarinet Survival Guide
    ELECTRIC TEACHING STRATEGIES CLARINETGUITAR Mouthpiece/Barrel Have beginning students warm up daily with only the mouthpiece and barrel to focus on fundamentals. The students will produce a concert F# if embouchure, air support, and tongue position are all correct. SURVIVAL Straws To help students understand the components of a good embouchure, have them drink water through a straw while looking in a mirror. While drinking GUIDE water, most students will have a flattened chin, the correct amount of lower lip rolled over the bottom teeth, and firm corners. Encourage students to practice their embouchure with a mirror daily. Swab in Bell To help students develop a good air column, insert a bundled up swab into the bell of the clarinet and have them play a low chalumeau E1. Tell the student to try to push the swab out of the clarinet with the air. Suddenly pull the swab out of the bell and the student should be producing a big, full sound. Paper Trick Students often don’t take enough mouthpiece. Place a piece of paper between the mouthpiece and the reed and mark the contact point on the reed lightly with a pencil. This will illustrate how much mouthpiece to take. Cutting a mouthpiece patch in half and placing it further down on the mouthpiece can also be a great tactile reminder for students of where to put their teeth and of how much mouthpiece to take. Hand Position If a student rests their left thumb on the body of the instrument while playing throat tones, rather than hovering it over the tone hole, place a mounting square on the instrument under the thumb hole.

Umble, Committee Member Date ____________________________________________________________ Peter J. Kasvinsky, Dean of School of Graduate Studies Date Abstract From the time Adolphe Sax took out his first patent in 1846, the saxophone has found its way into nearly every style of music with one notable exception: the orchestra. Composers of serious orchestral music have not only disregarded the saxophone but have actually developed an aversion to the instrument, despite the fact that it was created at a time when the orchestra was expanding at its most rapid pace. This thesis is intended to identify historical reasons why the saxophone never became a permanent member of the orchestra or acquired a reputation as a serious classical instrument in the twentieth century. iii Dedicated to Isabella, Olivia & Sophia And to my father Michael C.
