How do beginners master the breath in tenor saxophone?

The saxophone emits vibrating sound waves through the impact of airflow on the whistle head. This sound wave resonates with the pipe body through the flow in the pipe body, and the resonance of different holes further amplifies the sound wave and makes different sounds. Therefore, the sound wave entering the tube requires the intensity and size of the flow to change synchronously with the music and syllables played.

Then the gas that enters the saxophone is produced by the saxophone player, which is what professionals call breath. To practice breathing well, you must first practice breathing well.

Breathing is the foundation and motivation of saxophone performance. Mastering the correct breathing mode and using the correct breathing skills are the premise to ensure the performance effect. In the process of playing, the quality and change of sound quality and the fluctuation of pitch are all related to breathing. Saxophone's breathing is purposeful and needs to be treated with controlled art. There are three ways to play saxophone: chest breathing, abdominal breathing and chest-abdominal breathing. When playing at ordinary times, chest-abdomen breathing is used more.
