Saxophone All-in-one app review: learn to play

Introduction

If you're currently trying to learn how to play the saxophone or you just want a quick reference guide then the Saxophone All-in-one app can be of assistance. This app helps you with fingering positions for the keys on the saxophone so you aren't left wondering how to play a certain key. Even if you’ve been playing a while you can still get stumped from time to time, so this app can act as a quick answer tool.

A Quick and Easy Guide

This app strives to give you all the information you need when it comes to playing the saxophone. Of course it's great for beginners but even those who have been playing a while can still benefit from it by using it as a quick reference guide. The app takes into account that there are different types of saxophones so therefore the keys are different.

By working your way through the scales in this app you will be able to practice and then perfect your skills. What's great is that this can be done anywhere and any place on your own time. It’s also a lot cheaper than signing up for private lessons!

The app seems to get glowing reports from those who are learning to play but for those who already play there is a call for more scales.

 

Learning with the App

This app is able to guide you through the learning process of playing the saxophone. When you launch the app you'll be able to check out the key chart, saxophone family, saxophone scales, the blues scales, transposition chart, and then learn to play. Part of the learning process is to learn and read about the saxophone and charts before actually playing.

One of the most popular features in this app is the blues scales. This section features a range of popular blues scales that you can learn. Once you master these scales you'll be creating your own music before you know it.

I like that when you are checking out the key chart you can listen to that key so you know how it should sound when you play it. Even the way the saxophone family is presented is user-friendly. There are pictures of each saxophone so you can quickly and easily identify which one you are playing.

The app feels a little bit light on information to me, but then again I’m not a saxophone player nor learning to play.
