Hey Paul! It’s not really so much about time as it’s about the quality of what you practice. You can start by going through the range of each horn chromatically playing long tones with a tuner. Start by holding each note for an 8 count with a tuner and a metronome. Keep playing each note until you can consistently play it in tune with a good sound then move on to the next one. If you have some notes up top that are hard to control you should spend extra time on them. It can take 15 minutes…it can take an hour. Go up and down the full range of the horn. Doing that will start giving you a pretty good idea of what the tendencies of your horn are, and is essential to learning your particular horn. No horn is ever in tune… it’s all ears and practice. If time is short, try to set aside about 30 minutes to just work on intonation and sound. If that’s not possible, do what you can. 10 minutes of focused practice is way better than an hour of jumping around to a bunch of different stuff. After that, try some jazz ballads. No metronome…just focus on playing the melody with a good sound and keep the tuner out. Look at it once in a while as you play…as you get used to the horn and your ears begin to adjust, you’ll really start to hear what needs extra attention and you begin to adjust accordingly. Hope this helps! Also, practice your harmonics as well make sure your harmonics are in tune with the normal fingering: I.E. you overblow low Bb an octave above and the timbre should be close to your normal bb and the two should be in tune. Go up the harmonic series and keep matching notes. It’s the best I got! Thanks for watching!

@@Albanothemadman Thanks for answering.👍

Try a modern curved soprano you might prefer it over the straight one.

I always like the straight horn better with the exception of the yani wo (I think.) After 30 years of playing...i still feel goofy playing a curved sop...lol. Btw, the rampone curved sops are a delight! You should try one if you never had the chance. Personally, my dream horn is the Rampone 2 voices saxello...but...well...i ain't got new horn money atm.

Curved Sopranos are like mopeds, fun to ride but don't want your friends to catch you on one. I have a gold-plated hand hammered Chinese model that I like.
