In this saxophone lesson, Ed Barker teaches you how to form the perfect saxophone embouchure. This describes how the saxophone sits in your mouth and how you use the lips and face muscles to clamp the saxophone mouthpiece in place so that you make a good and in tune sound. This is the most important saxophone lesson as embouchure is the thing most saxophone players get wrong. You can always break a bad habit but it's best to get into the right habits from the very beginning of your saxophone playing career.

Ed Barker is an internationally acclaimed saxophonist and former sax soloist for the pop legend, George Michael. In 2014, he had a US Number 1 Hit with his debut single, 'When You Smile' which featured on his album, Simple Truth. He now resides in Hollywood, Los Angeles, where he launched the long awaited Ed Sax School so that he can give saxophone lessons to students from around the world.

Wherever you are in the world and at whatever time of day or night, you can take the beginner saxophone lessons with Ed at edsaxschool.com.

Ed truly believes that his saxophone lessons can be taken by anyone:

"You don't have to be a musician, you don't have to read a note of music, you don't have to be born with a musical gene or musical bones - they don't exist! I don't believe in any form of 'natural talent' I just believe in hard work, passion, dedication, drive and motivation! If you really want to learn the saxophone in just six months, you'll get there and I'd love to help you do it."
