Re: [The Saxophone Club] getting the right sound

Hi, you will probably experience similar problems when first starting to
play the sax, it takes a while to develop the correct embouchure, perseverence
and patience is the answer, but try different levels of pressure exerted on the
mouthpiece, and concentrate on getting a clear smooth note.
Most important of all don't be put off playing the sax , as it will give you
so much pleasure for the rest of your life, remember this is a problem most
people encounter when first starting to play.
Hope this helps you, all the best- Juke.
