you are a genius ! Love the way you explain and teach ! You are the man ! most important ....... the way you teach you keep people entertained and the same way you pass that passion for music and sax.......... etc... etc.... I have much more to say.... Desire you a lot of success....

By far the best Sax tutorial I have seen so far.

I've liked using that "speed bag" effect too, back in the 80's, but I never heard it called that. I like that name.

Your content is unbelievably useful for intermediate players. Many thanks!

@@Sirvalorsax How long do your reeds last with that setup? Do you have a reed video ? Like how you prepare, how you make them last etc?

Sirvalorsax, you give great instructions on all of your videos that I have seen. I get the speed bag effect, but I don't understand exactly how to do it. Do you let your tongue rattle freely or are you letting it touch tip and a little from the tip one step at a time? In other words moving your tongue that fast....tip and behind? I notice if I can make my tongue raddle if I just blow and let it go free.

In the speedbag effect, I'm wondering how much tongue movement is vertical and how much horizontal, and what it "rebounds" off. Roland Kirk used this technique also, I think. I've been wondering how it's done for decades, but feel no closer. A view from the side cutaway representation of the player's mouth, mouthpiece, teeth, lips, and tongue might show the tongue positions at each phase of the oscillatory sequence, to facilitate imitation. If any of the positions are a stretch for the player, it's likely that he won't stumble onto it on an early try at random positions. The muscles of the tongue may need special conditioning to easily move in the way or ways needed. Not knowing precisely what those ways are compounds the problem. Special tips on conditioning exercises for this unknown movement might help some. Thanks for a great lesson; your material has helped me a lot.

I've been playing a tenor sax for almost a year, and I was always told the lip in method. Can you elaborate on the lip out method more for me? I've been feeling a lot of pressure on my lower lip here recently, and I'm interested in learning more about the lip out method.

Hi Sirvalorsax, I didn't get the la la tonguing, where should my tongue need to place or position it? Thank you.

When using the lip out embouchure, are we still need to put some lower lip on the top of the bottom teeth? Or do we just support the reed fully with our lower lip? Thanks man

@Sirvalorsax

Yes. You are using less lip under the teeth while also relaxing the lower lip pressure.

when i do this it differ the sound cause of splitting through the reed and mouthpiece. How to avoid that ?

Maestro clase en online

Adrien, somewhere along the way, I lost my ability to flutter tongue; it’s like it feels tighter/shorter than when I was young. I try it here and there, both with mouthpiece in and also without, but so far not much progress.

I knew it. I need a bigger anchor

the shank must be very soft for comfort whether or not master health

If am doing my tonguing i will be putting saliva in my Sax please how do I get rid of that ?

If you send me the whip I will put the cork master hahaha
