Greetings All:

I travel extensively, and as a matter of fact I am currently emailing from Amman Jordan. I am trying to learn how to play the sax, and of course it means daily practice. In an effort to get better I take my saxophone (Selmar Mark VI) everywhere I go. The problem that I have is trying to practice softly,(fingering, long tones, reading etc), without disturbing the other guests. If I were an exceptional player of course everyone would love to here me practice, but since I'm new to the instrument, well you know the drill. Any suggestions??

if it's warm outside (no rain or snow) you could try outside just be careful!

I think there are this gig bag-like things that double as saxophone mutes. They look like a standard gig bag, but have holes to put your hands in. I think they're fairly expensive, but they may be something to look into.

Try playing with as little air as possible, but still make a noise.

Maybe try playing smooth pieces, it makes it sound softer.

Also always play legato... Staccato is quite loud.
