You know something's wrong when you're mouthpiece playing sounds better than all of the clarinets in my band.

Hey! Could you give a tutorial or explain to me advice on pleasantly articulating low notes like low B or low D?

Wonderful video, Dr. Young! Sinta's "Voicing" book is a must-have for saxophonists.

Anything else you cam recommend? I'm just starting to play but its always been a dream.

Can't believe that's just on youtube, for free. Incredible quality, thank you so much. I wasn't aware that I was using my embouchure to manipulate pitch, I'll have to try to use my tongue now. What do you think about vibrato? Do you prefer tongue (pitch change), airstream (volume change) or pitch manipulation via jaw/embouchure?

Just happened upon your videos in my continued journey to improve my sax play. Tremendous!

This is fantastic - thanks for posting, Robert!

Thank you Jason!

This is such a great video! Thank you! I'm a tenor sax newbie and have been playing overtones for a few months now, but only recently realized that I've been playing it wrong, using lip pressure/biting to change the pitch. I'm still trying to figure out how to move the back of my tongue, while keeping the front and embouchure/jaw set, but I was finally able to play the 1st overtone pretty reliably on the low D-F

I'm more of a jazz guy myself but dear lord your tone is beautiful. Watched a couple videos and find them very useful. You've just earned one more subscriber.

Emmanuel Fernandes thank you sir! I appreciate it!

Thank you for this! So well done.

This is a wonderful video. This is a concept I struggle with teaching to my private lesson students, and this will be a great help! Thanks!

i can do all the way up to b, but hey i don't feel bad for as long as i've been playing, thanks for this video sir, subscribed

Muchas gracias maestro por sus enseñanzas 🙏🙏🙏Dios lo bendiga siempre!!🙏

Great video!

One of the secrets to saxophone playing! Beautifully demonstrated here. Something I find is a good challenge is to do the overtone exercises, and especially the mouthpiece exercise, with a tuner, to see how absolutely steady one can hold the pitch.

Hey Mr. Young, I was wondering in the video what mouthpiece and reed you were using. Also, how do I get a darker tone on the saxophone? Thanks so much, you're a great saxophonist :)

Hey Robert, if these are 'very basic' voicing exercises, can you elaborate on what the more advanced approaches might be?

Can you or anyone recommend a structured practice schedule? I'm kinda all over the place when I practice.

Hi. This is a great video thank you. On Overtones, when I play a middle Bb on my alto, I am in tune, I can get the same pitch using low Bb fingerings but it is sharp. I take it the overtones are supposed to be in tune? Also, I cannot work out how to do the other two exercises, I seem to have a problem getting my tongue into lower positions. Is it just the tongue?

Excellent video. What neck strap are you using? Thanks.

I am really enjoying these videos! quick question though, what is the piece in the intro to this video?

@robertyoungsax

7 жыл бұрын

Thank you Tyler. That is a piece that was written for me by composer, Baljinder Sehkon. The piece is called "Gradient"

As someone who does a lot of voicing exercises, how do you feel about taking the chromatic descent and ascent exercises and doing overtone marching and such on that? I've been trying to exercise this with different things and had wondered if that idea is a viable thing to practice.

Hi Ethan. I think you can be as creative as you like as long as you are improving the control and awareness of your oral palate.

Wow amazing exercise sir.... Thanks a lot

So it looks like you, out of all the saxophonists I've seen on you tube can answer this fundamental question: do you incorporate ear training into your practice sessions. Do you set time alone devoted to ear training only? If so how long, is it an everyday thing?

i tried for months and I can't get the second overtone on anything above C especially on the upper keys. what should i do, i get nothing other that the 1 st note or the 1st overtone

@Aaron lol .. and I agree to that, but sometimes it helps to continue a musical phrase regardless, so you need them sometimes i think otherwise you need to switch quickly to a soprano during the solo.

What’s your saxophone set up

Mr wonki lee took me here

Dave Liebman in his Joe Allard based “The Complete Guide to Saxophone Sound Production” mentions a student who was able to play 2 1/2 octaves on the mouthpiece alone. kzread.info/dash/bejne/m36nsLKqdsXOh6w.htmlm42s While this is most likely hyperbole, what range would you consider a good goal to have? Replay enjoy all of your videos. Great info and very succinct!

Very good video, I'm trying to correct years of bad embouchure I'm getting good tips here I hope they help.
