I have just started playing sax again after a break of about 10 years. I have seen loads of saxophone lesson youtube sites over the last 2 or 3 weeks most of which have over 100K subscribers. I cannot understand why this one doesn’t have more - in my opinion it’s far better and deserves more subscribers.

What a brilliant exercise. I've been playing tenor in a concert band for years and many of our charts have me playing in the low register using low C#, C, B & Bb. I often struggled to keep this soft without slipping into sub tone. This exercise immediately improved my ability to control dynamics on those lowest notes. Still can't quite manage the exercise with the pencil AND the octave key. That takes it to a new level, but working on it.

Great lesson! I always believed it was impossible to get undertones with octave keys up! Just managed to get my horn serviced and find the leak that was preventing good low notes. It took a few goes though, so persevere. Such a nice feeling to get those low notes and the rest of the horn feels more comfortable too. Must have been playing like this for years because the last service didn't find the leak.

Thanks for sharing this valuable info! I used to virtually always play low notes subtone-plus, but whether or not I could get them right, depended on the reed I was using and the sax being warmed up. Only recently have I started playing full-tone low notes (after watching one of Wally Wallace's classes).

@akitikallc6161 2 года назад

I used to study oboe with an orchestra player. Oboe and sax are both conical bore, and so they kind of share the low note problem. The fellow I studied with was also a fan of the key pop to make the low note speak. Is the key pop ideal? No, ideally the note would just always start perfectly and beautifully...but the key pop is a whole lot better than missing the note in an exposed passage!

@marcbohets6671 2 года назад

I play the baritone, and low notes come out very easily, even at very quit sound level, much more easy than on tenor. For me it is more the quick action of the left pinky that is problematic, I guess I'll have to give my pinky muscles a fitness workout to overcome this. Your comment on leaks is very to the point, at some time, my low B was not sealing properly, and it took much more diaphragm pressure to get this note out, after a repair, it was so much easier.

@GetYourSaxTogether 2 года назад

You’re right, bari is much easier down there. 👍🏻

Hey Jamie - just a quick one to say that I'm really, truly enjoying your content. Its unbelievable how much variation and confusion there is around different topics on educational RU-vid platforms and I love how rock solid and impactful your teaching is! I was wondering - when tonguing the low notes to start a phrase, do you keep your tongue on the reed with air pressure behind it and wait till it's your time to come in (and release the note) or do you simply wait until it's time to tongue the note and do it then, without your tongue 'waiting' on the reed?

@olympuschimeric9359 2 года назад

I think the simplified version of what I'm trying to say is: is it good practice to wait with your tongue on the reed before blowing the first note of a phrase or piece 😅

@GetYourSaxTogether 2 года назад

Yeh that’s how you tongue - you start with your tongue on the reed. Watch this and the other related vids. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--ko5qsJAesY.html

@rafreyes4985 2 года назад

Could the "Donkey Low Note" effect be an indicator of a leak? By Donkey, I mean you hear the overtone before the fundamental, and it sounds like "Hee-Haw". I started the tenor saxophone and I am playing a loaner one from my school that is kind of old. I can play an E and occasionally a D really well, but it's the notes below it that are unstable. I've already made sure my embouchure was relaxed.

@GetYourSaxTogether 2 года назад

Possibly. Can’t say over a comment I’m afraid.

@timknight1952 2 года назад

Thanks for that great insight into the low note problem ! Can I just explain an anatomical mistake , commonly made! Overbite is a VERTICAL overlap of the teeth, if the upper teeth are horizontally ahead of the lowers that is an OVERJET! Sorry to be pedantic but I am a retired orthodontist and it is a bit like a doctor being told that someone has a PROSTRATE ( lying down) problem , as opposed to a PROSTATE problem.

@GetYourSaxTogether 2 года назад

Love that correction which I never knew. Thanks!

@mstram Год назад

The tongue / teeth info is great ! I can actually play fairly quietly now in my condo with the "high tongue / overbite" I haven't seen this info on any of the many how-to-sax videos I've been searching. However, I have to say that your explanation of the exercises is "lacking", especially for a total beginner like me. "Try and play the notes an octave lower" Heh, at this point, I'm just trying to play *any* note(s)

@GetYourSaxTogether Год назад

Keep practicing you'll get there.

@rameshrao3792 2 года назад

great lesson, good data! for a given input energy for the reed - effective length has to be long for long wavelength(low frequency), and effective length has to be short for short wavelength (high frequency) there are different ways to achieve this ie changing the input energy, reed strength (its different at different parts of a reed), effective length etc

@GetYourSaxTogether 2 года назад

Interesting.

@rameshrao3792 2 года назад

@@GetYourSaxTogether suspect that by arching the tongue the airflow is modified to hit the back movable part of the reed enabling more energy to the fundamental modes

@GetYourSaxTogether 2 года назад

@@rameshrao3792 No. pretty sure that’s not the case. In fact, it’s a myth that you can direct the airflow onto any part of the reed. The cross sectional area of the tip opening is orders of magnitude smaller than your mouth so any changes in your mouth are irrelevant to airflow speed or direction at the Reed tip. Basically, whatever you do with your mouth ALL the air vibrates the reed in EVERY direction. Any changes in timbre are the effect of an alteration in the character of the standing wave in your vocal tract.

@rameshrao3792 2 года назад

@@GetYourSaxTogether Good point - saw at least 6 modes of vibration in the reed as a cantilever simulation I did - longitudinal, lateral and rotational - bit like an aircraft, pitch, yaw, roll - thanks for the input, will experiment more with the vocal tract standing waves. Changing the 'effective length' made it a lot easier to produce the low notes on my TJ SR tenor - have to work on the quality of sound !

If you want to sound like Ben Webster, to have "subtone plus", you need very hard reed, mouthpiece with little tip open, and big mouthpiece chamber. If you use soft reed, and use overbite possition, like Ben Webster, you'll get over tone and squek. Reed support Is bed in that possition.

@GetYourSaxTogether 8 месяцев назад

Totally disagree actually. You need large tip and soft reed.

@belibeki 8 месяцев назад

It's strange...I think...I red on someone sax blog, forum I can't remember, that Stan Getz, Ben Webster, Coleman, and other old jazz players, they used to play on very small tip open 3 or 4, and very hard reed. It's not logical, to you use very soft reed, and big tip open, to ger subtone plus, and put your lower lip, closse to the tip of the mouthpiece ( end of the reed ). You'll closse or reduce space between tip of the reed end mouthpiece, and suffocate the sound, by blocking vibration of the reed. That's the point!

@GetYourSaxTogether 8 месяцев назад

@@belibeki fair enough.

@barryyoung8291 2 года назад

HI Jamie, great pointers as always. Interesting that you mention pulling your top teeth back to the tip of the mouthpiece to get that mellow Ben Webster sound, will have to give that a try because the general information that is published is to take more mouthpiece rather than less to avoid a thin tone and allow the reed to vibrate more. Does this work because you have taken your bottom teeth away?

@frankversteeg8107 2 года назад

same here, need to try this too

@GetYourSaxTogether 2 года назад

Well, it only works for subtone and it gives you a subdued, soft sound. It works cos you're muffling the reed more with your bottom lip.

@MattCrawley_Music 11 месяцев назад

Interesting you demonstrate the benefits of moving forward and back on the mouthpiece. My teacher when learning at school taught me to stay in the middle of the mouthpiece all the time, so I got in the habit of getting a rubber square that sticks on the top to keep my teeth in place. Now I'm wondering if that is a bad approach?

I tried the different mouth and tongue positions and have an issue there: when I put my tongue up, the pitch of the note increases. Not just a bit, but quite noticeable. Is there something I am doing wrong?

@GetYourSaxTogether 2 года назад

Ha! You just discovered a cool thing. That’s exactly what can happen yes. Most people can’t do it. try raising your tongue further back and see if that works.

@hanskok3862 2 года назад

@@GetYourSaxTogether Thanks, I will give that a try. I was playing around with high tongue and I found out that I can also use it to get a kind of vibrato, switching tongue positions. Even better: it just catapults me into some altissimo notes that were very difficult before like altissimo G. Also, I can now overblow all the palm key notes and high B, C and C# using the high tongue position. I read about that somewhere, but was never able to do it. It gives me a whole range of very easy altissimo fingerings, though I have to practice getting the correct pitch. So lots of new discoveries, thank you for that, but I am still working on the low notes and pitch issue. I may settle for loud low notes (which I can do reasonably well), and subtone, if I need lower volume. Thanks again, you have opened up a whole new range of tone options for me.

I had a problem with low notes for the longest time, I’m not saying like beginning band, I mean I was in freshman year still doing awful. Turns out my saxophone was just broken. Although I do believe at least until maybe 7th or 8th grade I would not have been able to, even on a fixed saxophone. I also want to point out to all of you, just because you don’t have a professional horn or even a good student model, doesn’t make it so you can’t play well. The main excuse is “well obviously someone who is used to having a pro horn is going to be able to play well on my bad horn as they have been able to practice with their good horn” and that’s not true. I main the Selmer Bundy II, and as awful as it is, I’m able to do a lot. I wonder if having a pro horn really is that good. I don’t think so, if my Bundy can allow me to play Ibert, I am sure anything’s possible.

It’s surprising how many horns going through my workshop have leaking pads or mis-adjusted mechanism even new horns (especially cheaper models but also expensive pro models). It doesn’t take much to make the low notes hard to speak. You really need to be able to check for leaks so you can know if it’s you or your horn. I’d say if 10 people took their Sax in for a check up then at least 7 would have a leak or adjustment issue of some description, normally saxophones from players who use their instrument for a living have the worst horns. Pro players hate spending money on their sax’s and also are better at being able to play it despite leaks and adjustment issues. Where a pro player can play round a leak a beginner would be stopped in their tracks because of it. You hear of people taking their Sax into a technician for a service or what ever and then saying it plays so much better, it sounds great as if the technician has sprinkled some magic pixie dust on it when all they probably did was a few adjustments and fixed a few leaks. Don’t forget that after having any work done a saxophone then starts to fall apart I.e leaks and the mis-adjustments then start to creep in. The better the quality of workmanship the slower this will happen.

@GetYourSaxTogether 2 года назад

Great comment. Let's not forget that people who play for a living have usually got much less money than other too!! lol

@ian_s7481 2 года назад

@@GetYourSaxTogether not always the case. In my experience they just like to spend their cash on other things. I was surprised at how many know nothing about their instrument, even the basic stuff.

They're dreaded because they're hard to play due to the complicated physics of the saxophone.

@@GetYourSaxTogether A strange design decision. Do you think that it paid off in the other registers? Like. Would the saxophone be less beautifully sounding if the design was different?
