Oh my godness....
Splitting up into chunks is a good method but you should always land on the first note of the next chunk. For the first chunk the landing note will be Bb. This way your chunks come more naturally and will easier connect to each other.
This is true! It just depends on the passage that I am working on, so I will use both depending on what I am playing.
Really good video, thanks👍

Thank you, Claude!
I appreciate you can take the time with one song but how would you suggest learning 5 new tunes for band camp?
One bite at a time! Obviously, the more music you have, the more time you need to practice it. But by breaking it down into pieces and taking the time to learn how to play it right, you actually save time! It sounds counterproductive, but it is true. If you just go through and rush your practicing without actually improving on anything, you will have to take more time later and correct all your mistakes. When I have a lot of music to learn, I always go to the most difficult sections first, and tackle the areas that need the most work. You just have to be smart about your time, and make sure to hit things on a daily basis for the most retention!
I'll try to ask. Whether you can help me.
I've trying learning with the low tempo and then moving slowly the tempo up. But after some point I can't go faster. Fingers at some point start messing everything up. I'm going back slower and trying it up again with no progress. I spent trying for about a year almost everyday. No luck. The phrase is in the octave transition from the 2nd to the 1st octave.
That must be a tough piece you are trying to play! A little more context as to what you are playing might be helpful so I can look at it. I have definitely had music that I have spent many, many hours on literally two measures where I hit a wall at a certain tempo, so I can sympathize with that!
And what can I do when I can’t play fast when in notes I have only staccato? I have so important solo but I can’t play that. My tongue is too slow 😫
That's honestly a whole other video I need to make. The biggest concepts are: using a good air stream, using a light tongue, and connecting the fingers to the tongue as you are moving from note to note. The tongue is also a muscle, so you have to work up to speed by doing articulation exercises everyday!
Hiii today i start saxofoon
Is that harmeful for teeth
Hello and good luck with saxophone! It is not harmful for your teeth at all!
