Had fun with that. I had a little trouble with it.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Well done. 👌🏻

[@markussax1412]

Brilliant idea, your lessons are never boring. My daughters won' t never take part on a lesson like your daughter did. Thank you for that.........🎷

[@torquayoilpaint5315]

WOW. This is fantastic.Love the Father & Daughter team.

[@DobrisaDobrenic]

Not just very funny but also very instructive to see the method in practice! It is not as hard or as magical as I thought. Thank you!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@thvd64]

Nice idea, practically demonstrate / excercise on how to find the home note, about 60% right and will do it again. Loved it. Special thanks to the special guest 😃.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks for watching. 🙏🏻

[@frithsoken]

That was an eye opener. I was surprised how easy it was even though if you had asked me beforehand I would have predicted I would have failed miserably.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Great. Pleased to hear that! 👌🏻

[@bobfixes7640]

Thanks for showing us that Jamie and Jasmine. I never thought of doing that and have always struggled with finding the key. I got about 15 right so it should work for me 75% of the time!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Awesome man 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@sonjawilson7807]

I’m still learning and have a way to go but I managed to get about 95% right so I’m really chuffed!! My ultimate goal is to play with a band and this is a great bit of knowledge to have ; thanks guys xx

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Wow, well played! 👌🏻

[@brianwansink4181]

Super useful. I loved the quiz feature (and the addition of your daughter). Fun, and I'll be doing it again to get better at this.

Congrats for the video! Would it be possible to have the list of songs? Thank you!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Sorry, I think they were all just from a royalty free list on Spotify so I don’t know what they were really!

[@mfdsuk]

Really helpful. Thank you. Please on next video tech us how to get perfect pitch.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Can’t teach you that I’m afraid, although I think there’s great vids on that by Rick Beato and Adam Neely.

[@MadTamB]

What's the opposite of perfect pitch? Because that's what I have! Even if I could hum the right note, I wouldn't be able to say what it is. Having said that, keep up the good work.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Well, we can’t all be Mozart. Just enjoy your music i say!

[@MadTamB]

@@GetYourSaxTogether Yeh - I know my limits!

[@grantkoeller8911]

It's called Relative pitch, most who say they have perfect pitch, really have great relative pitch.

[@hazelhemsley2930]

great exercise. I could get the major or minor correct and sing the correct pitch but naming the not so easy,

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Yeh it might take some time. Well done though!

[@couchphotography8861]

Am always amazed that if I hum a song, then I can play it...got 18 right..thanks Jamie and Jasmine

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Great score! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@bar8393gm]

very cool. I got them all! Interestingly though, I only heard the major tonic when you said it could be either or. I like Jasmine's method of "where is this going". That's probably how I do it unconsciously. Before adopting Jasmine's method, I'd often land incorrectly on the perfect 5th.

[@bar8393gm]

oh, and Jasmine, kudos on the pearls. nice touch.😁

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

I’ll pass it on!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Yeh, it’s common to hit the 5th as it’s a strong note. Well done!

[@KerrieStirlingMusic]

@@GetYourSaxTogether 🙏🏻 😉 Hope everything goes well ! See you soon

[@w2tty]

Wow. This is a fantastic exercise! Genius idea! I did the first 10 and had to stop due to a time constraint. I will do those 10 over and the rest a bit later. I guessed something on nearly every one and I was right about 50% of the time. No chance on #8 - for that one I could even come up with a guess. No note entered my head at all for #8

[@w2tty]

Now reading how everyone else did, I guess I stink at this. I wonder if practice at it will help improve things. Not being able to sing doesn’t help.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Glad you liked it!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Definitely practice will help

[@kissalabama]

I loved this!!! I had to watch the second half a few times. I feel a little rusty, I got lucky number 13! Not too shabby for not training my ear regularly, I get to practice more and more!! Everyone in my family thought I was a little crazy actually knowing some of it lol Also LOVED the special guest, great musician!!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@EricTorreborre]

Jasmine's method worked great for me

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

[@iannmiller]

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks 😊

[@johncontos9577]

Maybe 4 to 5 correct, good exercise. I had a clarinet teacher many moons ago and she had perfect pitch.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks. Perfect pitch is not as important as relative pitch. By the way, perfect pitch is very rare, and no more common among musicians than among the general population.

[@sbooontheroad]

wow amazing ears! i cannot get what note it is by hearing it. do you have any more beginner exercises to learn how to train the ear to recognize notes? Also confused with transposition from piano (C) to sax (Eb), do you do that on the spot or the notes you mentioned are not transposed. Sorry for the naivety, i am at the beginning of my music journey.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Hey get Rick Beato’s Ear Training course. It’s great. 👍🏻

[@sbooontheroad]

@@GetYourSaxTogether thank you so much Jamie, i just purchased this course, nice one can train online. Do you think people are born with musical ear able to identify pitches, notes, or it can be learned by most of us :-) It seems so tough.... i have the ultimate respect for the abilities of musicians, only now i realise how much work and efforts it takes to learn music...

@@GetYourSaxTogether Are you doing it yourself? I had a “soundproof “ music room (shed) built in my garden a few months ago. I love it. After 16 years I finally have some where I can play as loud as I want, spread out all my toys and spend time trying to become a better musician. Only issue is the internet is rubbish. So doing the improvisation master course is difficult.

[@nairdazitro7460]

Hello Jamie, I need an explanation, how can you tell if a track is played in this key when the chords are changing every seconds ? In jazz for example everything moves so fast, I mean, it's never the same key, it often switch from minor to major so how can we define the key ? Thanks.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

You start simple and gradually improve your ears. Try Rick Beato’s ear training course.

[@grantkoeller8911]

3,6,2,5,1, ....1 is the key

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Ooh, top scorer so far. Ears of doom! 👍🏻

[@petewharton6820]

Nice idea, but it presumes you know what the note sounds like and not really useful for the vocally challenged :-) Also wasn't sure whether I was supposed to be guessing the concert pitch note or the transposed sax note.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Hi Pete - not 100% what you mean by “presumes you know what the note sounds like”? I’m not presuming anything, especially not vocal skills. Listen to my voice!! 😭 I think maybe you’re over thinking it. You don’t need to get the name of the note, just sing it. Forget sax pitch or concert pitch, just go “laaaaaah” on the right key note. 😊
