in all my saxophone playing I've been unconfident with my sound, every teacher would say "just practice" but never elaborated more or told what exactly to do. This video truly made me excited again to play and I will update what I think I improved on in a week! Edit: its been awhile, but this really did help me. I am so much more confident in my playing and I'm not as nervous when doing solos!

Sonny Rollins is without a doubt my favorite player. Such a beautiful sound, and so accessible. I love the way he use old standards or songs like “There’s No Business Like Show Business” or “I’m An Old Cowhand” and turns them into something new and very musically interesting. He’s an incredible player and improviser.

@StephenB_LE9 4 года назад

Thanks Jay - I'doing long tone every day - and you are bang on - it improves one's sound audibly . I can hear the difference after a couple / 3 months.

@stulast 4 года назад

I love practicing long-tones. I find it's a really great way to get into the mindset of playing, to "connect" with the sax and to get the "feeling" of the right intonation. I use Tone Energy too, after your recommendation. I think of long tones as both a warm-up and a meditation that helps me get prepped for a really good practice. I'm impressed by your "ultra" sensitivity on Tonal Energy - I've just graduated to "Medium"

@thomasierubino8268 4 года назад

I've been playing sax for over 60 years, but thanks to you, Jay, I'm now focusing on the importance of long tones, overtones and the altissimo register. I've always believed that you shouldn't practice until you get it wrong, but you must keep practicing until you get it right. Your videos have changed my routine (and sound) in the woodshed. Using the tuner and metronome have become an essential part of practice sessions. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! Please keep up the good work and keep these vidoes coming... Big T

Great video Jay, my favorite player to listen to is Gerald Albright. I work on long tones every single day, I spend 10-15 minutes doing this but I set my alarm for 5 minutes, I never get bored playing long-tones, I fall in love with playing long-tones because sound is the most important thing to me. I also work on long tones in a chromatic form but only five notes at a time based on the key I’m working in so I spend one full month on just those five notes then move on in the next month in another key and so on. I’m about the long game because I’m not competing with any other player. And of course I use one set of the overtime series. I’ve been doing this for over a year now and it’s the most improvement I’ve experienced with my sound development so far. Thanks again for sharing Jay.

@bobbywhitney6262 4 года назад

Thank you Jay for these videos! I have always wanted to learn how to the Saxophone because I truly think it is one of the "coolest" instruments to play. I started learning from a local teacher and after a month he died and I place my sax away and never touch it for two years. But then I got bitten with the music bug again and pulled the alto sax out of the dust and started watching your videos. Right now I can't afford the classes you have due to no employment from the cornavirus pandemic but while I am at home I am trying to get as much as I can when dealing with the saxophone. Again thank you Jay for showing me and millions your skill and how to do it better. Fellow sax player and future student Bobby.🎷

Jay, i love your channel. I played sax for a couple of years, but stopped when we had kids (that's about 10 years now). Now my youngest (girl) is 8 years, she starts playing sax!!!....and i'm starting again (yes!). We both practice together and have a lot of fun together. I'm playing a Yamaha YAS280, and she is learning on a hired sax.... so a Jean-Paul AS-400 would be a great birthday present (July-6). We all know the great sax-players, but my main saxophone player is Benjamin Herman he made me fall in love with the Sax! !

Hello Jay Thanks for all your very helpful videos. I got into saxophone playing two years ago through listening to the saxophone parts in classical music pieces (Bolero will be the best known). As a result, I became interested in playing with a classical music tone, so my favourite living sax players are Amy Dickson (who has a beautiful, creamy tone, especially on soprano) and Jess Gillam, a young and very versatile player who has played solos at the London Promenade Concerts. My favourite jazz player is Jimmy Giuffre, with his lovely fluffy tenor sound. All that may well make me unique in the Better Sax audience!

Thanks for this video! I have been playing alto for nearly 2 years and just bought my first soprano, a Conn-Selmer Avant DSS 200 and can't wait to get it. I have always liked the soprano sax a little more than alto so decided to get one as have all the time I need to learn to play it. I have noticed an improvement in my playing over the past week from constant 2 hours or so playing every day, I just need to work on long tones on my alto to get middle notes with the octave key in tune as they are mostly slightly sharp and low D to low Bb in tune as my low D is always a little flat. My favourite saxophone players: Sidney Bechet (His tone is a bit thin and buzzy and never want my tone to be like that but like his playing a lot), Dr Eugene Rousseau, Paul Desmond, Grace Kelly, Sonny Rollins, Gerry Mulligan, Joe Temperley, Darren Rahn, Derek Brown, Jeff Coffin, Simon Bates, Amy Dixon, Mindy Abair, Nobuya Sugawa, Jess Gillam On RU-vid: Scott Paddock, Dan Forshaw, Sirvalorsax, Daehan Choi, Matthew Stone for his soprano sax playing and Greg Hawkins. I also like Briansthing (Brian Landau) but I think he adds too much reverb/effects to his recordings.
