hi i have recently started the sax and i find it really hard to tongue notes as i always slur them together and was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and knows how to help as i have never played a wind instrument before!
thanks

Take your mouth piece off the saxophone and play eighth notes, tongue the notes in between every eighth note. Do it for five minutes a day and you will have it soon. Wait till you do double and triple tonging.

learn a really easy song. like learn it by heart. the one I did is Mary had a little lamb then just concentrate on tounging. it really helped me.

hi guys thanx 4 the advice!i just get confused about when 2 toungue the notes because one of my friends who plays clarinet said the begining but my friend who plays sax said the end which is it?
thanx

Always tounge the beginning of the note, tounging at the end doesn`t make much sense unless you are trying to do it. To add to the other ideas to help your tounging, play your scales at eighth notes, group them in four tounge the first four and then slur the second four. If you need to pronounce it more try playing the tounged ones staccato.
