Learn to play Fly Me To The Moon on saxophone. The lesson starts learning how to play the unaltered melody at a slower tempo. The next version is a little faster in a Bossa-Nova style with variations and decorations to the melody and includes a transcription of the 16 bar solo. The third version is faster still in a swing style and includes a transcription of a 32 bar solo. At the end of the video there are backing track versions of the three styles so that you can practice playing the saxophone part by yourself.

This PDF does not contain the same notes you are playing in the video. It would be nice if you could link the notes you are actually playing in the video, thanks.👍

[@Tamagotchxii]

I finished uni for music a year ago and stopped practicing my saxophone consistently. This channel has helped me with getting me to play my sax again and actually enjoying it rather than for the sake of trying to graduate. Love your channel! Thanks so much

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

Hi Tamla, that’s so great to hear!

[@Robyn19fnq]

Thanks Paul, this one is awesome. I love the way you provide sheet music, note names and also fingering. I'll definitely tackle this one, though the final version will take a lot of work on my part. I'll let you know.
Love your channel.

I don't play sax but just come here to listen to you play. You are a terrific player. You have your own style but occasionally your tone reminds me of Paul Desmond and sax players of yesteryear. You have good accompaniment also.

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

Thanks so much Dan!

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

(It’s never too late to start to learn 😉)

[@Dtruthseek]

@@OnlineSaxAcademy Thank you, I agree. But so many instruments and such limited time (and discipline, I won't lie :)

[@lincolnleach]

Great tutorials. How do you link description below. Unable to do it

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

here's the link: www.newonlinesaxacademy.com/free-25

[@johncontos9577]

Hi Professor, the free pdf in the quick view file is in a different key than the video shows it in. The video shows it in the key of A, but the quick view pdf shows it in key of D. Is this by design? or a mistake? Now in the downloadable file it is in the key of A like in the video. Just checking, thanks. Really enjoying all your video lessons. I hope to be able to improvise one day.

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

Hi John, this looks like the te or sax transposition, but the version in A should be there too. Thanks for spotting that, I will correct that link this week.

[@paulfairchild3461]

do you have lullaby of bird land in your library

Oh how I wish sax keys were arranged like piano keys. Would be so easy for me to play. Sax keys, you have to press and or release keys, just to sound one note. But it would be so easy if the keys were laid out like piano keys. Great tutorial though!

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

Ha! Yeah!

[@tancy-x-ray-8790]

Вялікі дзякуй!

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

thanks!

[@Thatonesaxkid]

Are you able to make the swing backing track into a seperate place instead of the video? Cause I go busking with this backing track and the outro gets pretty annoying since I have to press the play next video button to avoid it

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

Sure, the the backing tracks are available to download for premium members at online sax academy.

[@kahneshawhiley1399]

When u do c# is your thumb touch like any buttons at the back of the alto I’m a bit confused

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

Hi Kahnesha, if the C# is high then you press the octave key with your thumb at the back of the sax. If it isn’t high then you don’t press anything.

[@thomasschneider1785]

I can never get your free pdf like this fry me to the moon how do I download
Thanks

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

Hi Thomas, the PDF in the free library at www.onlinesaxacademy.com, if you hit the ‘download’ button that should download it for you. If you’re on a mobile or tablet you may need have a zip file app. If on a computer it will download straight away.

[@thomasschneider1785]

Jerry I can get into your library but not fly me to moon please explain
Thanks Tom

When you’re in the free library scroll down until you see Fly me to the moon, then hit the ‘download’ button.

[@walkinmydawg]

I still don’t get how you didn’t get the notes wrong
Ps: why does the note keep go high when I’m trying to do a low note

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

Thanks, most common reason why you may be squeaking on the lower notes is you have too much pressure from on the reed from your lip
