The bachelor thesis deals with the sound of three types of Yamaha saxophones, specifically soprano, alto and tenor saxophone. Lists the basic parameters of the instrument, how it forms the tone and how it is typical. It focuses on characteristics in its tone using spectral analysis, LPC analysis and directional characteristics. The work focuses on the common properties of saxophones as instruments, it also looks for differences between selected types of saxophones and between individual tones. The results are compared in graphs, tables and verbal evaluation.

Playing saxophone and its potential health risks
Marešovský, Lukáš ; Pánek, David (advisor) ; Strnad, Pavel (referee)
PLAYING SAXOPHONE AND ITS POTENTIAL HEALTH RISKS Objectives: Main purpose of this study is to provide comprehensive review of health issues related to saxophone playing. The aim of this study is to collect available resources focused on saxophone players teaching methods, analyse them and compare them with existing findings of medical science. Also to try to find answers to asked research questions and to verify or disprove stated hypotheses, on the basis of acquired datas and principles eventually trying to arrange some possible outlines to complement teaching methods or preventative-compensational excercises for saxophone players. Methods: Method of this thesis is literature research using available Czech and foreign literary resources. For this purpose there have been used electronic archives as Pubmed, Ebsco, Springer, Wiley and Science Direct, monographic publications and scholarly papers from periodicals. This work is divided into few main parts. Introductional part contains basic review of health issues related to instrumental musicians, methodics contained in saxophone schools written in the Czech language, aims and methods of this thesis. Theoretical part is more widely focused on methodics, principles and mechanics of saxophone players' education. The main part is dedicated to possible...

BREATH AND EMBOUCHURE EXERCISES FOR SAXOPHONE
Rajnošek, Bharata ; SLOVÁČEK, Antonín (advisor) ; SOUKUP, Luboš (referee)
This thesis called Breath and Embouchure Exercises for Saxophone deals with the methodology of teaching techniques on the saxophone in a broader sense of all influences on tone creation. It begins with physical posture, continues with basic breathing techniques and only after their expected mastering proceeds to special techniques, which allow mastering of embouchure techniques and habits.
This thesis follows and complements the publication of David Liebman: How to Play the Saxophone. The author goes more in depth where Liebman is too brief. He is not satisfied with just enumerating playing techniques but tries a view from the other side - from quality-aesthetic requirements to individual exercises.
The focus of the thesis is to develop of a comprehensive system of exercises that leads those concerned through individual successive steps towards the ideal mastery of the tone creation technology.
The aim is to provide reassurance to seekers on their way. The author as a teacher makes his proven system available also for other students.

European Saxophone Ensemble
Králová, Tereza ; RADOK ŽÁDNÁ, Ingeborg (advisor) ; ŠTILEC, Jiří (referee)
The European Saxophone Ensemble was formed by twelve young saxophone players from twelve different countries of the European Union. Every year toured at least seven countries of EU and for each of the years were composed 5 - 6 new pieces from the authors of different nationalities and different music preferences. This project was held in the years 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. It was organized by the association MET-X, whose main target is to connect different cultures with music.
My theses is focused on theoretical and practical knowledge of European grant program Culture. The centre of the theses is the grant program strand 2. Support for organizations active at European level in the field of Culture from which the MET-X was benefiting. It should be also a documentation and resume of the whole project European Saxophone Ensemble.
