“How long will it take to learn sax?”

(practices two days a week, playing for one month)

-George

My response:

That really depends on what level you want to get to with the saxophone.

If you want to be able to play some songs, you may already be doing that at a month.

But you probably would not even learn to play all the notes on saxophone in a month. You possibly could if you practice every day for significant amounts of time.

If you want a really good tone, that will take more like a few years and you need to be practicing the right way.

If you want to be a top level saxophone player, that can take a lifetime. But it also requires playing every day or at least most days.

If you want to be in a band, it depends on what band and their expectations. You don’t want to bring down the level of the band if your playing isn’t up to par.

The rate at which you learn to play saxophone also depends on whether or not you get feedback.
