THE TEACHER-STUDENT RELATIONSHIP AND THE INFLUENCE OF THE SCHOOL THROUGH THE SAXOPHONE TEACHERS OF PARIS CONSERVATORY AND THEIR PEDAGOGICAL CONTRIBUTIONS

The invention of the saxophone brought the need to settle some bases with the aim of teaching this young instrument. It was its own inventor, Adolphe Sax, who began to spread it, but the legacy of its teaching fell on Marcel Mule. He became the first saxophone teacher of the Paris Conservatoire, institution where the instrument was first introduced with a permanent character in 1942. Thus, Mule stablished a teaching methodology without precedents that built the foundation of the French Saxophone School. This teaching was transmitted among the students, including from Daniel Deffayet to Claude Delangle, the current teacher of the conservatory. This research pretends to contribute to the academic and scientific community with a tracing of the evolution of this school through its teaching methodology. Besides, it pretends to delimit the importance of the teacher-student relationship stablished between the three teachers to understand in a better way the continuity produced in the pedagogic method, taking into account the basic aspects of their teachings. The methodology of our research is based on qualitative tools, taking special relevance the interview with the current teacher of the French Saxophone School.
