Easily the best explanation of this I've heard from anyone. There is one little issue I hope you'll add at some point. I was a clarinetist before I was a saxophonist and there are some challenges 1) unless you have a short barrel, you cannot physically force the instrument to play at 443 or above. Unlike a saxophone you can't simply push the mouthpiece further in. So I've had gigs where it was very cold, or violins were extremely sharp, and there was nothing I could do to get to their pitch. 2) If I use a short barrel, the allometry between notes on the instrument goes wonky... that is, the low D and E are incredibly flat, the open C# incredibly sharp and so on. 3) In my experience the same applies to saxophone. I can shove the mouthpiece in and match the extremely high brass, but the intervals on different notes becomes a crapshoot. I think, but I don't know, that the same is true for trumpets. When they get above 442 or so, intonation throughout the horn gets unpredictable. Summary: While I appreciate you don't want to be a jerk about perfect pitch, the instruments were probably built to sound good together if you're pretty close to 440. Once they go outside of that there's a lot of bickering ahead. Thanks for all you do!

Right on! I can remember going to a music contest back in high school in rural Eastern Washington sometime in the 60’s. I played “March of the Tin Soldiers” or maybe it was “Toy Soldiers” something like that. Maybe they weren’t marching. It was used by many woodwind participants because it was appropriately leveled. It covered the whole range of the alto sax without any altissimo. It started with a fanfare passage running up to high F a couple times. There were other high parts in the piece. I played it without errors but the judges were critical of my high note articulation. I was scooping too much between notes. They warned me that the highest notes are the most sensitive to changes in bite pressure. They told me to work on tonguing while keeping the pitch level. Much like your video. Maybe that could be a challenge for your beginner students in future videos- work on high notes maintaining level pitch. I was going to add that a scoop is sometimes needed for the proper expression. I was going to use as an example my latest home recording project of “It’s in His Kiss (The Swoop Swoop Song)”. I thought that swooping up a bit to the very first note, then level for the next three, was the way to emulate the vocal. (“/Does-he-love-me”). But I just listened again to the original by Betty Everett, and to the famous cover by Cher, and both of them hit the first “Does” very level. No scoop.

YES, thank you, Jamie! Clarification, when the tongue is touching the reed, the lungs are pushing air, waiting for the release of the tongue. This rush of air combined with the release of the tongue is what creates the "attack" of the note. Some of my students tried to touch the reed with the tongue, release, and then exhale, which is in the wrong order, and this creates the unwanted attacks you are speaking of. I went to a resort hotel in Tunisia last year. There was an alto sax player doing a solo gig with tracks. He played with this non-attack style all the time. Very annoying. But, the worst thing is wondering how many of the people in the audience might think that this guy is great?!

Embouchre strength from the sides is absolutely essential like you say at 5:30. For about a month, I lost all strength on the right right side of my mouth due to Bell's Palsy (a facial paralysis) 😕It left me unable to play a single note on a saxophone without air just leaking out the side. Then, until strength came back completely, I couldn't play loud or high. I'm fully recovered now 🙂 and I've learned to keep the sides of my embouchre firm (and not to just bite the reed in the middle).

Example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6jKl4h_brWAjcksi=IrxJkUPVvZax5GN3 Notes that high won't come out without the right embouchre, mouthpiece and reeds.

As many American showmen who abuse instruments and audience for the sake of drawing attention and selling noise, Earl confuses sound production with music.
