Let's try playing a little tune

How To Play The Saxophone -Learn A Tune

Starting on B, either tonguing or slurring, or both if you wish and try this.

Play B and then onto A and then G.

Play B and A just a little shorter than a second each and finish by playing G, for about 2 seconds.

Don't be too concerned about the length of time you play the notes, just ensure that B and A are of the same duration and G is about 2 to 3 times longer.

So you should be playing somthing like this:

• B - A - Geeee
• B - A - Geeee

Did you manage it? It's not too difficult to do.

If you can see if you can make the G fade out. Repeat this twice and see if you can guess the nursery rhyme it starts.

No, I'm not going to tell you what it is but let me know if you guess it. A clue. Don't go running around blind to what you are playing.
