How do you make sounds on a saxophone?

To make a sound on a saxophone, you need to:

1. Assemble your saxophone. Make sure that all the pieces are properly attached and tightened.

2. Attach a reed to the mouthpiece. The reed is the thin piece of wood that vibrates to produce sound.

3. Wet the reed with saliva. This helps the reed to vibrate more easily.

4. Place the mouthpiece in your mouth and seal it with your lips.

5. Blow air into the mouthpiece.

The air will cause the reed to vibrate and produce sound.

6. Use your fingers to open and close the keys on the saxophone. This will change the pitch of the sound.

7. Practice regularly to improve your technique and control.
