Since an acoustic saxophone carries, think about a practice room and times that suit the household and nearby neighbors. Bailey Brothers Music Company is one place to see saxophones; at Art's Music Shop and Bailey's Elite Music Sales (Bailey Brothers Music), look for saxophones and check how the keys feel. Ask your teacher which size and setup fit the player's hands and goals before deciding to shop. After playing, swab the saxophone and let it dry; a clean mouthpiece and a reed stored carefully help make the next practice easier to begin.

Wait for the teacher's first assignment before buying books; the right method book depends on the player's level and goals. In Pike Road, the Lesson With You shop can supply the selected materials.
