Learning and recognising intervals on the saxophone (The interval SECRET)

[@WJV9]

For old timers like me, who may not have seen several of the movies that you reference, this is a good list: Music Intervals - Memory Pegs Minor 2nd - Jaws Theme Major 2nd - Happy Birthday Minor 3rd - Brahm's Lullaby Major 3rd - Oh When the Saints Go Marching In Perfect 4th - Wedding March Tri-tone 5-3-1 - Simpsons theme Perfect 5th - Star Wars theme or Flintstones theme Minor 6th - The Entertainer Major 6th - NBC theme Minor 7th - Somewhere from West Side Story Major 7th - (a world) of Pure Imagination Perfect 8th/Octave - Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Thanks so much. That was so useful. So often I've felt stupid in rehearsal rooms as people say "ooh I think that chord could use a minor sixth," and I've just sort of smiled and nodded, not really knowing what that is without spending a few minutes figuring it out on a guitar. This is a great way of remembering them. I didn't know a lot of the tunes but I figured out other ones that match. :)

I have played alto and tenor sax for a year. I am also in Jazz Band, and Honor Band on Tenor, and I LOVE the saxes sound and playing it. That's why I'm first chair!!

[@theHardyMonster1984]

+Natalie Peterson Don't forget talking about yourself.

[@jadegrenade4103]

Awesome stuff again man, I usually take the approach of trying to figure out exactly what the steps and notes are behind each interval. But I'm definitely going to give this a try for ear training. Thanks!

[@jonathans.9713]

Hello Teacher, to share what the two note intervals are and what they sound like is awesome. Thank you very much. Jonathan S.

[@EleServiss]

The first to the fourth perfect fourth is also the start of Amazing Grace

[@incuriainre01]

Terrific way of explaining things. Really enjoyed it. Very crafty and clever. Thanks so much.

[@HelloSaxophone]

Thanks :)

[@noelbeltran2651]

Thank you!!!!!! You’re an awesome humAn for sharing such knowledge of music

[@gneissguy4342]

Really enjoying these tutorials!! Thanks for posting!

[@saxchap9653]

Dude, this is great, thank you so much. Your videos really help me, keep it up!

[@Maimimika]

7:50, and the little 4 notes that dribble down, and even the little thing he sang sounds a LOT like this song I hear my sister playing all the time, i beleive its disbelief, from an Undertale AU, i know its not really the place to bring it up, but i swear i thought of it.

[@thesoccerpr03]

For them Canadians. The minor 3rd is also the start to "Oh Canada" :P

[@jeremyredandblueify]

Cool way to learn major and minor intervals.

[@chuckwhite6666]

Can you do descending intervals ?

[@maxwellrafeian]

thank you

[@esquireeventrade4838]

HelloSaxophone+ is the first 2 notes of Hans Zimmer - Superman Theme in the perfect 5th interval? When I heard you play it I immediately thought of that. I know nothing about musical theory and am trying to learn lol

[@camofrog]

This was very entertaining and informative!

[@nickcollins3173]

Ok pretty easy I think I got it. Wow. But, Is that a collection of hair on the wall behind him? As minor 6 plays in background

[@hectorbaptista330]

Great video. Thanks.

[@vickidickishmicki]

great video, thank you!!!

[@brunohaine2522]

a while ago I asked you if you could do a lesson/video on how to play reggae on saxophone. could you find time to do that as I cant find anything like it on you tube

[@HelloSaxophone]

+Bruno Haine I will start making new song lesson soon. I was a bit busy lately with my brand new saxophone brand :) www.BlueRoseSaxophones.com

[@tyrahell1]

Amazing lesson as always, very helpfull. Can you tell me the name of the intro song ? thanks a lot !

[@thatgirlnaat]

Thank you!!!

[@jedgodwin6613]

Hey friend, I love all you videos and perspective so I was hoping you could give me some advice (or maybe make a vid?) about circular breathing and slap tongue. I can do the circular breathing technique but when I try it on sax I find I don't have the cheek muscles to make a good tone. Slap tongue is similar in that I don't have the best tongue pressure, but I also am having difficulty exhaling a puff of air to get the nice round tone. Right now I'm just trying to spend 10mins a day on each, hoping that my muscles will build up to the requisite level. Any suggestions would be awesome man. Thanks for sharing all your skill and knowledge on this channel. Peace.

[@HelloSaxophone]

Hey man, thanks for the feedback and questions. Actually, I think you allready found the right answerr to both your questions :). 10 to 15 min day of docussed practise with both these challenges willl eventually solve your problem. The one extra Tip would like to give you is: Try these skills in an applied way. So find a song with a lot of slap-tonging and find a song that requires circular breathing and incorporate these into your practice until you can play them flawlessly. Applying a skill concretely like that will help focus you on a good result :). All the best! FJ

[@jedgodwin6613]

Very good idea - that will definitely keep me motivated and interested. Thanks so much man! Peace

[@tomasrosaly]

Nice references! Thanks for sharing!

[@LiftPizzas]

For the 5th there are several John Williams songs: Star Wars, ET, Superman. :)

[@habitdaemon]

You had me at 'Iron Man Theme' thanks!

[@koolcool2011]

The P4 and M6 (tritone) are two starwars intervals I never knew that really helped I already knew the m6 padme lol

[@matthewdickmanmusic7275]

This really helped!!

[@michelleg2864]

OMG this hard I’ll have to look at this again

[@KeesBoer]

Just curious.... I'm trying to recognize your accent... A very slight Dutch accent?

[@the_editor9943]

tnx

[@gretagroce9072]

P4 sounds like the first two notes of : SHOULD ALL acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind.” Might be easier for us older players than Star Wars music. 🇺🇸☦️

[@snturner10]

So I have a question. What?

[@BoninBrighton]

I just wish I knew the tunes you mention…..

[@free2mention]

what about the perfect unison

[@vickidickishmicki]

lol a unison is the same note played twice.

[@TheLucasvmm]

The song from school of rock isn't a Van Halen song by the way. Its a led zeppelin song called immigrant song. Sorry, just felt the need to say that

[@ArneWidding]

Just like top comment did a whole year before you...

[@TheLucasvmm]

Oh yeah for the fifth, I much prefer the Superman theme. Really makes me remember i guess to each his own.

[@grantharper6033]

Great...if your a Star Wars fan, sadly I don't have time to watch all these films...I'm too busy practicing my sax 😉

[@turtleturtlington5344]

Rather than Iron Man I was expecting Green Sleeves, which in my opinion it sounded closer to.

[@HelloSaxophone]

Amnesia Grunt Also an option :)

[@alexisdeghellinck768]

thanks! it helps much more than the iron man trick !

[@J.D....]

Thinking of the Crazy Frog song also helpes with a minor third

[@ArturoSenni1257]

He used an Iron Man reference, because he's essentially a douche. I absolutely agree, that several other examples would have sufficed more appropriately when are are talking about an instrument like Saxophone. I don't need to soil my mind with handicap associations like these. I think if you have base musical ability, you should be able to understand utterly simple interval relations without idiotic examples like these. Not a very competent keyboardist either I see. Better hope that Piano belongs to someone else. And look at that hat... Good gracious.

[@josephcharles2098]

Why are you so negative? Make your own video then!

[@cyberlycans4191]

I think the last one you mentioned "School of Rock" is a Led Zeppelin song

[@irenevanhelden557]

a great minor 5th interval is the opening of "Maria" from West Side Story. The word Maria goes from 1 to minor 5th to perfect 5th. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqrSl4qKrJWVp7s at 0.32

[@nickmarthaler5243]

That last song, is actually a Led Zeppelin song, the Immigrant Song.

[@csogoreny]

would be easy if I were not tone deaf...

[@androidkenobi]

isn't tone deaf the inability to sing your intended note?

[@shiritzhaki5333]

csogoreny that also takes practice sadly. You'll get it

[@deathmasterheartsnap1537]

Frank Black haha

[@rdaugherty52]

This is the syco wandering if his knife got dull after slicing up a family this is not happy saxophone music this is creepy

[@arieswaters]

Like Freddie Mercury I don't like Star Wars

[@rayscardigan]

WHAT THE FUCK IS AN INTERVAL????

[@colemanadamson5943]

I don't care for Star Wars or Tron or Independence Day or Indiana Jones or 99% of the movies Hollywood puts out. Guess I'm not going to be able to play the sax.

[@eliasmorales6950]

There are all sorts of songs to relate to intervals. Put in a google search for "interval ear training songs" and a ton come up. Best of luck!
