How can I make my saxophone tone better?

On Saxophone Tone:

1. Bottom lip position is important. Think the word “Victory”, or the letter “F” to see how much (or little) bottom lip is placed over the bottom teeth.
2. “Hot air plays the Saxophone; Cool air plays the Flute.”
3. Keep your throat open – same way as when you burp – and push the warm air through.

How long does it take to get good tone on saxophone?

However, with a reasonable amount of allocated practise time and enthusiasm most people should within a few years (2 -4) be able to read simple melodies with ease, improvise neat diatonic lines and play comfortably with others in an ensemble, which for most will mean many years of enjoyment.

How do I fix my airy saxophone sound?

Make sure that your top teeth and bottom teeth are aligned; neither set of teeth should be further forward on the mouthpiece than the other. Also, make sure that you take a deep breath from your diaphragm before playing. Air support is key to sounding good.
