Saxophone
The “ Saxophone” is a musical instrument belonging to the woodwind family. It has a long and gradual history of evolution. Historians agree that Adolph Sax, a Brussels instrument maker; designed and built the saxophone in about the 1840s. Saxophones are transposing instruments, i.e., the score is written in the key of the saxophone, rather than the concert key or piano key. The family of saxophones very commonly used today are Soprano in Bb, Alto in Eb, Tenor in Bb, Baritone in Eb, and Bass in Bb. At Trinity Music Academy we teach our students the art of mastering the skill to play the saxophone through a systematic step-by-step syllabus designed by the Academy.
We maintain a warm, cordial, conducive, pleasing and exciting learning environment so that our students have a wonderful, rich, progressive, constructive, and memorable experience of learning to make music.
Through periodic internal assessment and tests we train our students to prepare different scales, arpeggios, broken chords, sight-reading, improvising and aural tests. We also impart a broad knowledge of Western music, music composers and their works, structure, style and period. Subsequently the students are prepared for the world renowned and globally accredited Certificate Grade examinations conducted by Trinity College, London, UK. These examinations are available from Entry (Initial) grade up to Grade 8 for practical (Classical & Jazz/ Rock and Pop) as well as Music Theory. .
