Is it hard to learn to play SAX?
I found that learning to play the saxophone pretty well in the beginning was not very hard compared to other instruments (such as violin or guitar). However, after playing for four years I seemed quite difficult to go from being a mediocre player to being a very good player. Therefore, if you want to learn the instrument well enough to play a few melodies or to add the sound to your band it would not take you very long. But, to become a very good player well versed in jazz studies, etc would take a lot of time and practice like any other instrument. Also, it helps a lot if you have played a woodwind instrument before.
