There is more than a decades worth of information in this one lesson!
🙏
These are great exercise. I practice breath work before my meditation. So I’ll be adding these exercises to my morning routine. Thx
Great. Thanks
I always enjoy watching your videos Jamie, keep up the good work!
Ta 👍🏻
I joined Total Tone Mastery Course when it first came out. It's brilliant and covers all aspects of tone development. Jamie's enthusiasm is limitless and he's a great teacher. I'd recommend this course to anyone whatever their level. You don't get this depth of coaching from your regular sax teachers!
Thanks so much for that awesome testimonial david and I’m so glad you’re enjoying the course!
always a pleasure watching your videos. Very enthousiatic
Thanks! 🙏🏻
Such breath of fresh air!
Thanks for the great advice :)
I see what you did there! 😜
Brilliant,Jamie.
Like I said, there’s no one out there with lessons as effective as yours.
And your teaching methods are outstanding.
🤓🎷
Thanks 🙏🏻
Could you make a video of how to blow saxophone easily
So useful! Thankyou!
You’re welcome ☺️
Thank you! Good lesson!
Thanks 🙏🏻
Bless you mate!
Thanks 🙏🏻
Such good advice! Seeing clips of when I am playing sax, shows me how much I need to relax more, and be more conscious of breathing properly. It takes time to overcome bad habits (especially ones that have taken years to develop)!
Very true.
This is great, I practice with just the neck to work my embouchure to.👍🏿👍🏿

Hi Jamie as a high performance spot coach one thing I taught my athletes about was to pull the shoulder blades down and fwd to relax and open the chest as when you get tired and fatigued the scapula tend to move up (elevate & spread)
I’m trying to see how I could move my shoulder blades down and FORWARD? I get the down bit, but can’t see how they could move forward from my back?
@@GetYourSaxTogether if you first extend your arm forward below the plane if your shoulder you will feel the scapula move around the ribs. It's not a huge movement. Also try wrapping your arms around your shoulder as this also gets the same movement. Once you have done it these ways it's easier to feel how to depress and rotate the scapula on their own. If your back is tense, then the trapezius and rhomboid muscles maybe tight, so you will feel these muscles start to relax as you do the arm wrap process
Great vedio bro
Thanks!
thank you for this very informative lesson. Could you please elaborate on breathing and mouthpiece opening.
Elaborate in a UA-cam comment?
Thx so much! 🇦🇷🎷
You’re very welcome ☺️
Hi Jamie ! This is great advice for breathing correctly. I have found any exercise you can do to strengthen the hip flexors will also promote abdominal breathing and super charge your tone. Push the air (through and beyond the horn) with those hip flexor muscles while breathing horizontally and flattening diaphragm like you say. People get weaker hip flexors from sitting behind a desk all day !
True.
which exercises
'Sibilant fricatives' is very Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band!
🤣
Could you teach us about circular breathing on the saxophone please
Yup. ua-cam.com/video/71rGbUHzihs/v-deo.html
I can't even hold low notes at pianissimo without this sort of breath support. What's you're impression of that alto mouthpiece so far Jamie? Use it anywhere yet?
You’ve got mail!
When will total tone mastery be available again? Thanks !
Ah…good question! Drop me an email info@getyoursaxtogether.com
I find that the natural elasticity of my filled lungs starts my sound and as they deflate I'm using those muscles to push more. Would you say it's better to use those muscles from the very beginning?
You’ve made a bit of a physiological mistake there. Your lungs DO have a degree of elasticity (used during quiet passive breathing) but they don’t have any muscles. Also, the natural elastic recoil of your lungs isn’t sufficient to produce a good sax sound. You have to drive the air out using your trunk and rib cage muscles.
@@GetYourSaxTogether thank you this has been so helpful. Applied this to my practice and I had so much more control from the beginning of the note on. You nailed it with that response. The beginning of every note was wild and then equaled out after I gained control with my rib cage and diaphragm.
What do you do when you have a load of air left in your lungs, but you need more oxygen. I find it much harder to fit in an exhale+inhale then I do to fit in just an inhale. This makes playing quietly hard as I end up with loads of air left that I need to expel before I can breath new air in.
Yeh I understand that problem. I used to get it when I had a narrow tip opening classical mouthpiece and I could get the air through the horn enough.

How do I blow saxophone easily
Take a big breath and use the minimum amount of pressure on the mouthpiece!
There is needed to breathe in the accurate amount of air, NOT more! Because then is needed to exhauts the de-oxygenized air and breath in fresh. By accurate amount of air is needed to breathe in only. It also removes problems with rhytm of songs and we can more focus to melody.
I’m not crystal clear what you’re saying because I think there were some typos in there? Are you saying you should only take in a small amount of air for a short phrase etc?
Yes. Not exactly small but the right amount of air for whole phrase. There is not needed to breathe in the maximal capacity of lungs (but of course training of lungs is doog idea). Body (lungs and blood) do their job even if we play sax or not. Air in lungs becomes de-oxygenized automaticaly and then is needed to change it for fresh air. So in very short pauses between phrases is needed to breathe out and after that breathe in. In case of correct amount of air we naturally breathe out the air during playing, we don't have feeling of lack of oxygen even of full lungs. Sorry for typos (if are), I do the check but on phone is tiny keyboard. I hope I explained my experience as best as I knew, I am not englishman.
