How do you teach the reverse slap?

[@NikivanHuygen]

Dear Joshua, thank you very much for posting the videos on this subject. I have one question, because I'm writing a piece for solo Saxophon: Is it possible to produce every form of slap on every tone for example on the alto saxophone or are there tone ranges were the slaps doesn't work?

[@danijelzivojinovic2242]

A good performer even should be able to slap in the altissimo register, so yes, it's possible to slap on every saxophone and on every note :)

Dear joshua, I wanted to know is it possible to begin the note with open slap and then hold it through ?

[@JoshuaHyde]

Normal slap, yes - Open slap, no. The mouth is open at the end of an open slap so the note cannot continue.
