You would observe that I called out the tonic solfa with lesser speed. This is because, the saxophonist that performed the medly is very experienced and fast; as a beginner you might not be able to keep up with that speed. In order for you not to be frustrated or give up easily, I had to reduce the tempo by which I scored the tonic solfa for you.

There are plenty of mobile apps or computer softwares that can be used to slow down the tempo of a song. You should try them out.

On my windows computer, I make use of VLC media player to slow down the tempo of any mp3 song. WHen the song is playing. just click on “playback” on the top menu, you would then select  “speed”; then select how slow or fast you want the tempo to be.

Do not be in a hurry to start playing fast, start slowly; then gradually you would conveniently play on a fast pace.

If I drop just the tonic solfa in written format without singing it out to you, it would be extremely difficult for you to understand, that is why I made them into videos for you so you would see the written format and hear me sing them out for you.

Best of Luck. Kindly make sure you share this blog post or tutorial to your other friends that play the saxophone.
