1.First of all, this is a crucial and fatal part of the song, because the name of a song often directly determines your taste and even your level of performance. When people don't want to listen to the title of a song when they see it, you've failed. We know that the saxophone itself is a Western instrument, so the style orientation is naturally pop, jazz, and classical. If you want to brag about the national stuff, you still have a better effect on voters. Well, I'll admit that you play "Horse Racing" on the saxophone, your kung fu is very good, and I may not be able to show off your skills in the rest of my life. But friends, do you have a beautiful feeling when you listen to the saxophone playing "Horse Racing"? Are you enjoying it? I can't describe that kind of rigidity in Chinese. It's not that Western musical instruments can't play national styles, but we embody national style elements in different ways. I don't want to go into too much detail about the use of modulation and timbre contrast. Therefore, for most amateur beginners, it is more suitable for playing pop songs. As for how to choose pop songs: we can choose the most fashionable first-line songs, but I advise everyone not to play saliva songs, too bad is one thing, this kind of music is a routine is really worthless. The song can also be an old song, and the song is not afraid of being old, just a classic.
2.Try to use the first key, whether you are an academic staff or an amateur self-taught simple notation, try to use the first key when playing popular things, so that the emotional processing and performance of the piece will naturally feel better. Don't ask me why, it's all in tune. If you can't even find the tune, where did you come from? Since we use the first key, we have to practice Xi scales with different keys. Generally, beginners should master the three keys - be, bb, ba, and then the advanced level - f, c, g, these natural scales can basically play most songs. If the accompaniment does not conform to the tonality, the accompaniment can be modified appropriately. As for how to set the tone for your repertoire and accompaniment.
3.In terms of performance methods, in addition to basic skills and performance techniques, it is also necessary to have artistic expression. There are many kinds of ornaments: trill, leaning forward, leaning back, echoing, Boeing, etc. Normally, the principle of adding a forward note is the semitone principle, that is, the note of a minor second is blown before the note being decorated, for example, a 5 can be added before 6, but this note is only a decorative function and cannot occupy the main time value. The leaning note is rarely used, but it is often used in saxophone playing, and it is mostly a major second on the main note, such as adding a 3 after 2. Of course, this is not absolute, everything has to be changed according to the characteristics of the form, the upward and downward movements, etc. There is also the application of ornamental sounds such as echo and boeing, which will naturally be used with the level of understanding of the music. In addition, there are many substitutions for the saxophone, and with so many keys, a large part of them are used as substitute keys. When playing vibrato or quickly switching between two or several notes with different intervals, alternative fingering can solve problems such as key interference, incoherent playing, and inconsistent timbre. This is also why some people play stiffly, and some people sound comfortable when playing. The use of alternative fingering is the result of continuous practice and Xi over a long period of time, and in order to play well, it is necessary to try different alternative fingering.
4.During the performance, it is necessary to ensure the intonation and remember not to glide to the notes. Don't have a hook where you should be straight, this is also the best way to distinguish between amateurs and professionals. For example.
When playing a continuous spit, don't sound like "pia pia", but try to have a "toot" feeling. A large part of the saxophone pitch itself is controlled by the breath, and it can't sound good if you don't pay attention to the breath control.
5.Within the scope of playing ability, some variations can be added. As for the meaning of the variation here, it means that in addition to the main theme, there are some show-off skills, and some expressions of feelings, but we can't add them arbitrarily, first according to the style of the piece, and then the chords in the bars of the section, which should be around a few notes in the chords, and we can also make a fuss about the rhythm. Of course, the popular style of our beginner playing is generally based on three chords and seven chords, and jazz and blues are a different story.
The ultimate goal of playing a musical instrument is to appreciate, whether it is for oneself or for others to hear, to have a sense of beauty and appreciation, not noise and noise. A performer, first of all, must move himself, and after improving a grade, he will naturally attract the attention of others, from impressing others to moving others.
