Some Indian alto saxophone. Something of which I haven’t heard too much. Played by Ramesh Maraj . The song is Yeh Shyam Mastan.
Seems like he’s into the music, a few issues with technique, but overall pretty good. Thought I would post it.
Note: video is currently unavailable, set to private by the person who uploaded it.

Experts please guide me.

Hello sir, i am 22 now and Still Playing Alto Saxophone.. First thing you mist know is which Saxophone are you going to Learn the most common and easy is Student model Alto Saxophone.. If you get the technique it is said that even a Pregnant women can Play it so Age does not simply matter, It is an easy instrument to Learn but will Take years of Practice to Master it.. The force applied to Blow saxophone is also determined by the Size of Saxophone reed you’LL use it starts with 1 and half size and the force applied gradually increases with the Increase in size of Reed..
If you are passionate enough to Learn you will be able to play simple songs within first month of Learning.. 🙂

My 11 yr old son Jatin loves to play Bollywood tunes on Alto saxaphone.
However it’s extremely difficult to get hold of music sheets for saxaphone
Any suggestions, more than welcome
Best wishes

He’ll probably have to work on learning them by ear.
It’s a skill that can be developed.
Start with simpler/slower melodies.
Good luck!

I have a number of transcriptions of popular Hindi songs arranged for Alto/Tenor saxophone and flute, which I have spent a few years writing out for my professional work.

Also there are a few books out there by Ram Gopalan, and another one named Bollywood Piano Favourites.
Hi Pavan,
I am a beginner based in UK. Would love to get hold of some sheet music for beginner level for Bollywood songs
I’m not sure offhand. Which songs specifically are you looking for?
Hey Pavan, would u have music sheet to sell, for your song “Teri ore” which You had played in a function and have a YouTube video of the same.
Also, I know how to play bollywood songs through my Sax but not sure how to improvise the way you’ve done for that song… Any books to recommend or other suggestions?
Hi Pavan,
How can I purchase Alto Saxophone sheet music?
Regards
Jitendra
