It’s not difficult, and music theory is even simpler. It takes 3-5 months for a novice to be able to play to an acceptable level. The main thing is to practice diligently and pay attention to your breathing. Wind instruments are mainly about basic breathing methods, which is particularly important. Many teachers have incorrect breathing methods. It is difficult to find a master like Kelly King who can blow for 40 minutes in one breath as a teacher. You have to experience it yourself and refer to some classic books. Long notes need to be practiced regularly. I think the most difficult thing is to pronounce the sound, not to breathe out, but to tap the reed with your tongue. Also pay attention to what kind of saxophone you should learn at the beginning. I recommend learning alto saxophone. In addition, you need to be proficient in fingering. Relatively speaking, most amateur musicians are more proficient in modulation than professionals. You can ask them for advice. Finally, when learning, it is best to start with line music to save a lot of trouble in the future. Grading: 1. Generally speaking Music grading examinations are called amateur grading examinations, which are relative to the professional people who study music in school. Therefore, if a person is studying at a conservatory, it is best not to ask him what level he took the exam, but it is possible that he took the exam before he was admitted to the conservatory. 2. During the grading examination, the judges only want to see your actual level, not to appreciate the music. If you meet the standard, it will be fine. Generally, except for the scales, you will read it from the beginning, and you will only listen to a few lines of other music, half of it at most. Then you will be asked to continue from somewhere behind. 3. The grading test can be taken anywhere and is recognized by the local area. Unless you go from your hometown to a big city, you may have some doubts. However, the grading test is not as practical as other certificates. Generally, you only need to know it after passing the test. It is almost easy. It is a good thing for those who rarely have the opportunity to use the certificate to take the grade exam as a pressure on themselves. Grade exams are usually only passed under the strict guidance of the teacher, because the exam is a general grade exam that cannot exceed a certain range of repertoire. Sometimes there are several parts: for example: scales, etudes (2 pieces), concertos, Chinese music, etc., which vary according to the specific situation. The total is 5 or 6 pieces of music.

It is recommended that you find a teacher and at least buy a book for the grading examination (you should buy the book for whichever level you are taking the exam. For example, if you want to take the Central Conservatory of Music, buy books from the Central Conservatory of Music, and if you want to take the China Conservatory of Music, buy books from China. Because of the exam The content is different) By:Rabbit
