OMG when you said "open your thought like our yawning" I actually yawned whiled I played during band! :D
same here!!!!
Anyone else come here cos your not sure if you're doing it because its been so long since you've had formal lessons. then you watch the video and you realise you are.
We are so glad that you have found a positive improvment from the video, keep it up
Wow,I actually get it now.I have been breathing in it wrong all along.If I would just channel my breath into it steadily,it would sound right.I am so glad that I Lund your saxophone for beginners video because it has inspired to pick my saxophone up again tomorrow.
I've been playing sax for quiet a few years, but love your vids. Very helpful on a number of levels. I have recommended a couple of people look at these.
Great explanation on this critical technical aspect for a sax player. Everything derives from a good breathing technique. MexSax 🌵🎷
Thanks so much for your help 🙏
great information I am relatively new to the Alto Sax playing just over a year older in life at 54 , and always want to learn to breath better, thank you. vinny
Thx so much I've been kind of struggling in music at school and after watching ur vids I got an A thx man
what mistake?!! Gramem has been corrected, thanks for spotting!
the best way to get a good sound, but i still lost control in higher notes and tend to press my lips!! have to work on that! thanks for your tips!
Cool
so im just learning the sax and when i play i find me self having to blow really hard to make a noise. also its very squeaky and is difficult to get a smooth decisive note. you seem to do it with great ease and minimal effort. any tips?
i had that problem when i used the mouthpiece that came with the saxophone. got a selmer s80 c*, feels perfect now.
Please make a video for "fuff" blowing...thanks!
Thanks
Hi Wayne...glad it helped...G
I easily get a sound out on the mouth piece and without pushing any keys but when I try to play any notes I can't get out low notes or they come out high.... I play flute so I understand how to get different notes out by changing my positioning but I can't seem to grasp a reed instrument.... any tips?
I seem to build up carbon dioxide and so need to breath out loads before I then breathe in again. Any advise?
I meant to put I will pick up my saxophone again tomorrow not I will Lund my saxophone again tomorrow
how long can you play a C, low G, and a Low Bb? thanks
Must be exhausting exhaling through the mouth. How long can you play for without resting?
Pity: you taught 5,000 people the wrong way to spell the verb "breathe." Now many of the comments repeat the same error. Torture for the rest of us.
who can find the tipo in the title
Who can find the"TIPO" in yours?? ;)))
@@jonniewadd56 damn u really did him like that
I have minor sinus problems that sometimes makes it hard to breath in quickly trough my nose. Will this be a problem if I want to to learn to play saxophone?
I don't think so!! Choose music that won't require long periods of requiring a full tank of air. Also, to breathe in, crack open your embouchure and fill up, don't necessarily have to be through your nose.
A rudimentary video which basically says breathe in hard and release breath steadily. Not really following on how to breathe through a number of notes
*Breathe
Did they also teach you how to spell "breathe" correctly?
Nope
Like really...didn't know we were here to correct GRAMMAR!!! ;(
too much talking.... lets getting breathing and playing.....
Face should be more relaxed when playing.
Hi Julia, thanks for your comments...I have always blown hard and when in the practice room used a full length mirror to check stance and face/head/neck position. For me, as all players, it is the sound production thats important so I may look a little tight but I am perfectly relaxed inside to achieve my sound. However if I am teaching one to one I would recommend my pupils to relax when they play as much as possible. ... G
thesaxteacher Hi, thanks for your reply! Sorry if it my comment sounded rather rude!! Yes, I have pupils who tense up terribly and especially in the face; startled rabbit look so I demonstrate keeping the face really soft as the whole body is linked up!
