Use this 5 minute play along saxophone workout/exercise to help you develop your tuning and sense of intonation on the sax.
excellent teaching, thank you for your teachings! 🇧🇷
Thanks!
I was recording with my son using my soprano sax and was "nicely" told that I need an exercise like this... thanks Paul
Don’t worry, soprano can be a cruel mistress!

Thanks! 🙏
Great exercises, as always! Thank you Paul!
Thanks!
Never thought of this before. Brilliant exercise. Thank you.
Thanks!
Another interesting thing that you clarified, which I'm happy to hear, is that plain whistling techniques actually are not that dissimilar from how you alter your throat/mouth/tongue position to create the best possible perfectly pitched tone when playing the sax. Other prominent online sax tutors have dismissed it outright. So, thanks for that too. It works for me.
Thanks a lot! Beautiful exercise with a perfect background track. Very useful for hearing by using 5th and 3rd (ev. 4th & 6th), too.
Thanks!
Excellent! I often use drones with long tone workouts and these play along tracks are great. I especially like the chord swells, and jumping the octave is a great tip. Thank you,
Thanks! Yeah it definitely feels more musical to do it by ear rather than looking at a dial all the time!
Very good lesson!
Muchas Gracias Master!
De nada!
Great for singers too! Thank you!!! :)
Cool, thanks!
Fantastic exercise! Immediately recommended it to all my students. I was thinking it might be a good idea to add to it a visual tuner (like TE tuner - no affiliations (-:) and glance over to it every once in a while to double check my tuning, especially over the low and the high notes where it seems more difficult to discern a shift.
Absolutely, you can glance over, but see if you can tune the note by ear first, then look to see how accurate you were.
Great video 👍
Thanks!
Great exercise, Paul. Would you recommend doing this with alternative fingerings as well?
Thanks! I would start with the standard fingerings first, but you can use alternative ones after
@@OnlineSaxAcademy Thanks, Paul!
I find it interesting you didn't mention overtones/harmonic series at all. I'm getting back into tenor after a decade but trained as a clarinetist and played jazz tenor a lot. I did a overtones exercise where I held say a D and lipped it up an octave and then another octave up, for clarinet in 12ths of course. This helped teach some tuning centering but especially listening for those overtones in every register to make your tone richer. A decently made instrument should be pretty in tune if you are playing in a way where you can hear all the overtones. They're supposed to be designed to resonate the harmonic series the best while playing in tune.
yes overtone exercises are very good for tone development and I certainly recommend them. The emphasis on this exercise is more on developing the habit of listening as you play while maintaining a consistent embouchure with the octave leaps.

Hello please English Man in New yORK--
I cover this one in my learn to improvise course, check it out here: www.onlinesaxacademy.com/courses
Sax is difficult!!!! 😢😢😢😢
I suppose, but like any skill, try things that are just slightly too hard but achievable and if you're consistent with your practice you'll be amazed at how far you can go! Stick with it!
