Many people, particularly adults, decide that they would much rather play for pleasure rather than bother with grade examinations. This is definitely the path to go down if you don't cope well with exam pressure or would rather focus on developing your saxophone skills organically as opposed to following a syllabus. Playing for pleasure gives you the freedom to play exactly the type of music you would like to play so you're not hemmed in into the usual classical fare that you need to master in order to pass exams.
A happy medium
There is, of course Cheap Adidas Ultra Boots 5.0 , a happy medium - unless you want to pass as many grades as you can as quickly as possible it is a good idea to spend perhaps half of your lessons focusing on skills necessary for passing grades and then spending the other half of your lessons playing for pleasure. Although it will take you slightly longer to achieve the grades you want, you will have a much more balanced approach to playing the saxophone and will probably be a better player for it.
So there you go - there are certainly benefits of playing for pleasure and playing for grades (and both at the same time!). It is important to figure out exactly what you want to achieve from your saxophone lessons before you make any final decisions about the direction you'd like your playing to head in - make sure to have a thorough discussion with your teacher about it too.
