A Perfect Saxophone Daily Practice Routine…

Practicing is an Art in Itself

It requires discipline and focus, therefore your saxophone daily practice routine should be done when your mind is fresh. Early in the day is better than late in the day after a long days work. It’s way too easy and counterproductive to ramble on without direction for an hour for weeks or months on end without gaining any results with your sound and technique.
If you put the right exercises into those practice sessions each day you can change all that.

This routine I have put together is a solid and strong one specifically for the beginner that can already play all the notes of the saxophone… if you can’t then get the tutorial above!
Also, if you have been playing for several months to even several years, or played years ago but want to start up again and get steady, positive results.
