Hershey Middle School 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade Tenor Saxophone

Welcome to the Hershey Middle School 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade Tenor Saxophone page! These items are recommend by your teacher.

Mouthpiece: Most beginner and intermediate instruments are stocked with a basic beginner mouthpiece. While these mouthpieces are extremely accessible for beginners, they do not function well for advancing students. An upgrade in mouthpiece can make a significant difference in a student's sound and technique, as better materials and care are used in the craftsmanship of these mouthpieces. Below are both intermediate and advanced mouthpieces, at two different price points..

Ligature: As with mouthpieces, most beginner and intermediate instruments are also stocked with metal ligatures. A necessary upgrade would be to a Rovner Dark ligature (preferred). This is what we prefer all HHS students play with.

Reed Case: Your reed case should have slots for 4 reeds to rotate.

Silk Swab: Helps to clean the inside of your Tenor Saxophone without scratching the metal.

Tenor Saxophone Stand: If the Tenor Saxophone is being set down, it is helpful to have a stand to preventing unwanted damage and to ensure the sax is held properly.
