Children's Toy Saxophones

Popularised by jazz musicians such as Charlie Parker, a saxophone is one of the most entertaining musical instruments for children to practice playing. Whilst many of the toy saxophones you'll come across are designed for role-playing rather than actually making music, they provide a great way to get kids interested in music and to help them get a feel for what it must be like to be a musician performing to a crowd.

If you're after fully-working toy saxophones then there's still plenty to choose from. Distributors like The Little Little Toy Company make simplified but fully-functional toy saxophones that can be played by toddlers as young as three. These are designed to let children explore music in their own way and to practice learning simple tunes which they can then perform to their family or friends. Other saxophones, particularly those aimed at slightly older children, have brightly-coloured keys and come with a few song sheets that they can learn as they build up their confidence of playing the instrument and reading music.
