    It’s amazing to realize others have discovered the same thing! I discovered the hell of using Na or Du especially when I was working on the Ibert and the Creston Concerto third Movement. I love your playing ! I am very picky about classical Saxophonist! There’s a young man named Steven Ticknor who plays with the presidents on Marine band and his father, Ken, who are incredible as well. Please keep sharing! I have retired but I still teach at a small college in McPherson Kansas. I tell my students all to listen to you!

  • @ethantufts3591

    great video, one issue: "na" feels easier because air is being sent out your nose, allowing your tongue to move without changing air pressure in your mouth. However, we don't play with air coming out your nose. Try saying "na" with air coming out your mouth like on saxophone. It is impossible. If you try saying na while air only coming out your mouth, it becomes "da".
    Thus "na" may help psychologically, like a placebo effect, but you can't ever tongue like that

    Using Na is brilliant. Da has seemed a good softer and efficient syllable but Na is even better. Thank You!!!! Also I also discovered breath attack the first syllable, doing this seems to allow the subsequent notes to flow out more easily.

    • @wonkisaxlee
      @wonkisaxlee  2 роки тому

      Hi Adam, I think that has to do with your oral cavity and tongue position. Try to close the space by saying "hissing sound" which will bring your back of tongue to go higher.

  • @smokinjoe4709
    @smokinjoe4709 2 роки тому +1

    I haven't found a single video that can help me yet. How in the world do you say "NA" with a mouthpiece stuck in your mouth? All the explanations make zero sense to me. I can slowly tongue on one note, but how the hell do you do it while changing fingering?
    For example: if I am in 4/4 time and there are 4 quarter notes in a row in one measure, doesn't the second note begin EXACTLY where the last note ends? How am I supposed to tongue that in time without losing some sound somewhere.
    I just do not get this concept at all.
    Been playing guitar for 25 plus years and this seems to be very similar to muting a string so that it doesn't ring out, but i am having a major issue with this.

    • @wonkisaxlee
      @wonkisaxlee  2 роки тому +4

      Thank you for the comment. Tonguing is hard! You are exactly right about saxophone tonguing being similar to muting a string. We need to stop the reed from vibrating, but the problem is that we tend to also stop the air stream at the same time. Then many issues come up. So I would say check your air stream while tonguing a single note and see if that makes it easier.
