Is it hard to play alto sax?

Can i play alto sax if i already play flute?

  • In school i play flute, and have been doing so for almost 3 years! but i want to just try out alto sax because i absolutley love the sound it makes. my parents think i should wait ...show more

  • Answer:

    Of course you can. Experimentation is what music is built upon. And just think, what if you play the sax better than the flute. By waiting you are only limiting your potential.

yes you can, but you have to be dedicated to learning it. i played the clarinet for 2 years, then the bass clarinet for 1 year and then i played the alto sax, and now i play the bari sax, the embouchure isn't going to be your problem, it might take a few days to get the right amount of air going through the instrument, but besides that you'll be fine. i'm actually working on learning the flute now. any tips?

Yes. It just requires a different embouchure.

It's quite different. New embouchure, get used to a reed, new fingering, new body position, transposing instrument. The only advantage from your flute playing is the fact that you're still playing a wind instrument and that you have 3 years of reading and interpreting music under your belt. But if none of that bothers you, go right ahead. It's good to play more than one instrument.
