I heard it is easier (pick it up quicker) to learn
the saxaphone than it is to learn the trumpet.
Is there any truth to this?

Well if you ask me I;d say the saxifhone because there are so many buttuns!!!

i think the saxophone is easier becaus with the trumpet its not always easy to get a good tone so the sax would be your best bet

the saxaphone isnt that easy but i play it and its the best thing ever

yes it`s true i play the sax and i tryed the trumpet once

I`m a trumpet player, and if you ask me, the trumpet takes a lot more lip skill than any woodwind I ever tried.

Learning where all the notes are on the sax is easy; they tend to just work from the bottom up.... with trumpet, you have only three valves to produce a myriad of different pitches. When it comes to learning the basics, sax is easier, but once you`ve mastered that, getting good tone on sax is actaully pretty difficult. Basically, you`ll find trumpet hard at first, but once you`ve got the basics, you`re virtaully home and hosed; with sax it tends to work the other way

are the notes easier to read on a sax vs a trumpet? I like both instruments but I`m not too sure which I should start on. I guess the short is I want to play an instrument that is relatively easy. I`m already playing the drums so I don`t want to get to confused.

Play sax then start to play trumpet- trust me, after you`ve got the sax thing down a little trumpet comes quick

Thanks! I take it you play both instruments?

i played the trupmet for 4 years and i think it is easier leared but not easier to play

You never did say whether you played the sax or not, but i`ll take your advice and try the sax.

Do you know about some resources on internet about getting started with sax?

someone plz tell me a website were i can learn the sax notes

honestly if you`re gonna learn a new instrument don`t pick one just because it`s easier than all the others you have to love the instrument you play
