FORWARD and down! That's it. Finally. Thanks for this tutorial. Finally, I got it. Now I can practice with an understanding of what I have to aim for. I got one in 20 today but, I''ll touch base in a few weeks.

Hi Robbie. That's so great that you've found this useful. I've been questioning the instruction of the forward movement recently so I'm glad someone else has felt the same. Keep up the regular work and it'll be 19 out of 20 in no time I'm sure. Best of luck with it. Chris.

Great video! I am learning a lot from this wonderful tutorial. One question from a composer: is it possible to make a (small) glissando (rather a bending) from the highest possible note of (any) saxophone?

Thanks for your comment. Regarding your question on a small glissando, the technique on a saxophone would be a controlled bend to take the pitch of a note to another. Together with that and a manipulation of the voicing and fingers you can potentially glissando between a few pitches seamlessly although some questions to the performer in mind would be needed. This technique is actually easier to control using the higher notes so using it on a note above an A or B (saxophone pitch) above the stave is easier than the lower notes. Hope that makes sense and is helpful. Let me know if any other questions. Chris

Thank you very much, I'm just be able to do it because of this video

I'm not able to get any kind of suction on the reed with my tongue. Is there any sort of trick with your tongue to achieve this?

Try to curl your tongue so you have a slight indentation in the middle. The same action as clicking your tongue, that sound is created by creating suction at the roof of your mouth. Slap tongue is similar but the suction is on the reed. I speak in the video about the forward and downward action of the tongue, I feel that increases the suction to create a cleaner and more pronounced slap. Hope this helps and you manage to find it.
