@@yosh11111 good luck and have fun😁👍🎷

It need to be snug enough so that it does not slip around when you vibe your mouthpiece, but not overly tightened. You can break a screw or bend the metal if it’s too tight!

Good luck on your lesson! Have a great time with the saxophone 🎷🎷🎷

Cheers!! Glad you found it helpful 😁🎷👍

So glad you dig! 👍😁

Glad it could help! 😁👍🎷

Thank you very much! I was just ready to add some bends in the solo and only got to a few notes in the beginning 😂 appreciate it!

I really like that one dad who does that one skit on the internet

👍😃🎷

I appreciate it!! 🙏🎷

Thank you!!🎷🎷😁

Glad you enjoy it!

Glad it’s helpful!! 🎷👍

You can certainly learn those too! This is just a starting point 👍

👍👍👍🎷🎷🎷😁

Thank you very much!

Hi there - I do not currently teach online at the moment, but an online studio is something I am considering in the future! If this is something that I plan on starting, I will definitely make an announcement about it. Thank you for reaching out!

That means a lot! Thanks for checking out the channel!! 🎷🎷🎷😁👍

Great question! I like to practice my scales both ways, but mostly slurred. You hear where your fingers are making mistakes easier this way. But I will also practice them tongued if I want to work on articulation! So it depends on what your goals are. Hope this helps 👍🎷

Yes it helped allot thanks you very much

👍🎷😀

🎷🎷👍😁

I’m glad it’s helpful! 👍👍

Let me see what I can do!

@@stokedonsax tysm!

@@stokedonsaxsorry to inconvenience you but is there an update on this because I would love to have it in sheet music form

@@eliasfrey4445If you send me an email (listed on my channel) I can send you a PDF!

Thanks for checking it out! 🎷

You’re welcome!

I hope you get a saxophone very soon! And practicing away from the horn is totally possible!

Glad you found things helpful!

Could not agree more! The first step is to always hear it first!

The saxophone is a transposing instrument! When I play C# Major on an alto or baritone saxophone, it actually sounds as concert E Major.

@@missionrd100 I really like that! I agree 👍

Glad you like! Happy playing!! 😁🎷

For real tho

They are all important!! 😁🎷👍

I do teach privately, but I don’t have any online courses up at the moment!

@@stokedonsax How to go about taking private classes?

Glad you enjoy!

30 minutes is a great starting point! An ideal schedule is different for everyone, but as long as you are getting to the fundamentals (scales, long tones, articulations) and reading some music everyday, your practice time will be spent well! If I had 30 minutes for practice as a beginner, I would spend maybe 5-10 minutes practicing this scale.

I also see this! I just think that this kind of perspective comes with time and continual reminding. Sometimes it's hard to understand when music is truly clean and correct at a younger age. We just have to keep diligent with the process! 🎷

that's a really old school way of thinking and it doesn't work with today's students this is a problem with the teacher situation, kids these days are using micro learning a lot more and they are interested in a bit of everything with micro rewards, if you work with the systems that are already embedded in them then you'll get significantly better results strive for fun and breadth over getting a song to be perfect and you'll find that you get much better results much quicker and the kids might actually practice more

@@jakel.3783 I suppose it depends on what age group you’re referring to. Of course, the younger the student, the more simple and small you want to make the lesson. My intent for this topic was to gear it towards young adults through older learners who have the maturity and focus to break down music into pieces so they can practice it with attention to detail. In my experience, even some younger kids are able to handle these ideas! It just depends on who you are working with

@@stokedonsax no, doesn't matter if it's a kid or an adult, if that's the way they learn, it's your job to roll with that and come up with a system that allows them to progress the way they learn stop thinking its a student problem, it's very much a teacher problem, particulalry when music teachers think they know it all and have never actually spent any real time studying how to be an effective teacher i on the other hand have a masters degree in education first and music teacher second and as a result I don't have this issue with my students because I know how to manage them and how to teach them in the way they are now used to learning, which is rarely to "perfect" something slowly and more often to try something a bunch then move on so learn to work with the students and stop blaming them!

Side Bb works better for certain keys. Good habit to keep as that transition from Bb to B and C can be tricky using the Bis Key. Especially if your playing a passage at speed. Try playing Take 5 in the original key of Fm on tenor sax and you’ll see what I mean. Regards

There is definitely nothing wrong side B flat! That is a great one to use, especially for anything chromatic (moving up from B flat to B natural and vice versa). I use bis in this case because it’s less movement for me, and it’s not clunky. When I have to play fast in this key, I find bis flows much easier than side B flat. You can give it a try and see if it helps! It’s good to have both in your arsenal 🎷🤘
