As a result of the study, it was observed that there are possibilities and limitations in teaching saxophone remotely, such as: Firstly, the accessibility and flexibility of the courses, portability and receptivity, with students having the opportunity to access the courses at any time and in any place and reducing costs of travel, accommodation and study on campus. Due to the use of technology, new skills can be developed. As for the limitations, a series of problems were identified that hinder the effective teaching and learning of saxophone teaching, such as the technical requirements of online teaching; problems also arise due to the lack of computers and computer equipment for students; the lack of sound quality and fidelity of sound reproduction, because of the internet connection, microphones that capture sound and personal sound reproduction systems.
