How to Play Pink Panther Theme on Tenor Sax (Original Key)

[@SaxStation]

**Quick note, at 1:41, it has C# to B# written, it should be C to B for each of those. (I play C to B) Here are the four Pink Panther video lessons I have made, Two in the original key: Tenor- kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpDIenibbNuoi5o Alto- kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIXZdo1me7-Clac Two in an easier key: Tenor- kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXbUhoeirtt0gNU Alto- kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqmuY414m9qoh7s If you want to learn more of the song or the solo, you can buy the sheet music or learn it by ear.

I started playing the Alto Saxophone just for one year but then I changed to the Tenor and I really enjoy playing:)

[@SaxStation]

Cool, keep it up. I started on tenor and played some alto after a while. I play both but more tenor.

Why so many ppl do this

[@StephanieDouglassMusic]

Awesome video, this is what every kid wants to play in junior high! The pink shirt is a great touch. :)

[@SaxStation]

Thanks Stephanie! Yep, I learned it pretty early, seems like other people also like it.

[@rubywong7061]

Love your tutorial 😘😍 I almost get everything except for this triple CB CB CB. I watched your video so many times, just couldn't figure it out. it does not look like a C and a B to me. I just can't make it sound close to what you are playing. Please help me out and give me some pointers. Thanks and have a great day!

[@1neilcarr]

Thank you. Just what I wanted. Your video "does what it says on the tin".

[@madprofessor-home]

Sounds great, thanks.

Thanks for this! Great video :D Just what I was searching for after I picked up the tenor next to my alto. ^^

[@SaxStation]

Cool, thanks.

[@joanvave]

I like the way you teach

[@SaxStation]

Thanks Jose!

[@andrewwright6893]

Brilliant video.

[@SaxStation]

Thanks Andrew! What else would you like to see?

[@Sev1138]

i started with tenor this year and i think i wanna stay with tenor

[@proudhon2281]

i dont know the letters of the notes but I can read notes as notes do you think ı should learn the letters of the notes? (sorry for t lame english)

[@SaxStation]

Yes. It's good to be able to talk about notes with other people without needing to write anything down sometimes.

[@roystongold]

Thank you for your video it's really easy to understand and learn from. Will you be doing other tunes that we can learn on the Tenor Saxophone? Many kind regards,Royston UK.

[@SaxStation]

Thanks. I have done other videos, they are on this channel. Let me know if you want to pay for some lessons.

[@kuairust]

awsome!!

[@SaxStation]

Thanks!

[@allgagnoreflex6877]

Tomorrow is when I get my tenor sax at school in band and I honestly have no idea how to handle it XD but I'm confident to teach myself

[@SaxStation]

Have you played saxophone before? Or clarinet or flute?

[@allgagnoreflex6877]

@@SaxStation I played clarinet for a really short amount of time I never really remember anything about the clarinet but I play trumpet

[@allgagnoreflex6877]

@@SaxStation but I am switching to tenor sax

[@SaxStation]

All three of those instruments are in Bb, so one thing in common. Tenor sax will be similar to clarinet in some ways and for some notes very similar. I went from clarinet to tenor sax also back a while ago.

[@allgagnoreflex6877]

@@SaxStation that's awesome keep it up you sound great!

[@louischappellholmes2708]

very cool video

[@SaxStation]

Thanks Louis!

[@MauiRivera-se1bp]

What fingerings were that B# when you were swapping between C# and B# toward the end of the song? It says B# is C natural but C natural doesn't sound right on that part of the song so im thinking its something else

[@SaxStation]

I have used the alternate C fingering before, but it should still sound right with the usual fingering if your fingers are timed correctly. I heard that Plas Johnson lipped it down.

[@torekvalheim7207]

Brilliant. How do you get the mellow sound? Is it solely due to the way you are playing, the mouthpiece, reed or a combination of these. It would be nice if you could tell me which mouthpiece and reed you are using. Thanks again !

[@SaxStation]

I have been playing a while. 22 years now. I'm using a metal Otto Link 8 with a Rico reed. That seems to work well for me. You may or may not like it. I could maybe do a video where I play some different mouthpieces and reeds. In the end, I think I'm going to sound like myself regardless of what I'm playing.

[@SaxStation]

Remembered this video just now, I play the first notes of 'Isn't She Lovely' at the beginning on two very different setups. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ7VnayKesShatE Alto sax with a hard rubber Vandoren V16 A8 and a synthetic reed (I think a Fiberreed) Tenor sax with the metal Otto Link 8 and a Rico reed. Let me know if you think the sound is different or not.

[@torekvalheim7207]

@@SaxStation Thanks for taking the time :-)

[@kamilkonrad9497]

Do you play everything on one breath from 1:38 to 1:46?

[@SaxStation]

Yes, I did/would recommend doing so.

[@weesmild]

Are you playing almost constantly subtones in this video?

[@SaxStation]

I don’t think I was

[@weesmild]

@@SaxStation it sounds like because of the volume which is lower than usual.

[@SaxStation]

Subtones are more about the tone, not as much about volume. Could be the volume was lower than usual though.

[@HSKY69]

THANK YOU SO MUCH NOW WHEN SOMEONE ASK ME TO PLAY SOMETHING I DONT HAVE TO PLAY JINGLE BELL

[@SaxStation]

Cool, good to have some options. What else would you like to play?

[@HSKY69]

@@SaxStation I would like to play happy b'day since it's my birthday tomorrow (November 8)

[@SaxStation]

Here that is for alto: kzbin.info/www/bejne/omPakHVtlJ6Wl68 and for tenor: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJjUnouQbtiEmqM It's partly ear training.

[@mrblue1307]

What brand of sax are you using?

[@SaxStation]

Selmer

[@Roman-rx2tm]

Oh. I thought it was a Tenor

[@SaxStation]

Tenor is the type of saxophone. It is a tenor.

[@Roman-rx2tm]

Oh lol I didn’t read the comment correctly I’m so stupid xD

[@Roman-rx2tm]

I thought he said type of sax

[@honghanguyenthi8754]

1:32 is that c flat why i can't get that sound

[@SaxStation]

C natural

[@allgagnoreflex6877]

Everytime I play D & C# it's much deeper than how u sound

[@SaxStation]

I think you said you have been playing for two days. You might be flat. Check a tuner or a tuner app. Also, make sure your fingers are in the right places.

[@atenightt5158]

I play it on G#

[@SaxStation]

On alto or tenor? That is easier to play but not the original key.

[@vincentvega9863]

If we are in the key of F# why was there an F natural at one point? Surely it would be an E#. That really span me out

[@SaxStation]

More correct to write out E# each time, but seems like I didn’t once. I wasn’t using sheet music.

[@vincentvega9863]

@@SaxStation Ah that's ok then. I'm quite new to the whole theory side of things so I figured there was a reason for it that I didn't understand. Appreciate the reply, thank you

[@andyaguirre1698]

I would rather have it on a piece of paper

[@SaxStation]

Write it down then?

[@andyaguirre1698]

Ok 👌

[@PallaDrak]

There is no such thing as a B#

[@SaxStation]

It’s usually thought of as C, but not always. Look up the C# major scale if you would like

[@PallaDrak]

@@SaxStation I've just started sax. Getting on pretty well but there is nowhere that shows how to play a B# as you do in the video. Everything else says B# is just a C I can see you finger stays down on the C but what are you doing to do the C#/B# part?

[@PallaDrak]

@@SaxStation The one thing I can find just shows B# as being a B with the octave key pressed down. That can't be right, right?

[@SaxStation]

No, that’s not right. Your fingers go in the same places for B# as for C. It’s called an enharmonic equivalent.
