Question

How do i learn to blow the sax properly?

Answer 1

Its a long time since i did it (about 12 years) but i believe you pucker your lips like a kiss and blow out.  I cant remember if you use your tongue or not.

It takes a while to get used to and a teacher will help in the early stages of learning.

Answer 2

From a teacher.  Embouchure (position of the mouth) is vital to be able to play properly and if you don't learn right you'll never get a decent sound!  Essentially you place your lower lip over your bottom teeth, put the reed on that and blow without puffing your cheeks out, keeping the corners of your lips tucked in - but get some lessons, it will make things much easier!

Answer 3

as justin says , kiss and blow
