3 Saxophone Sound Problems Solved!

[@aykutsahin939]

"Ocean sound" analogy is so cool and you are spot on. I am already struggling with squeaky notes. Thumbs up for the instruction. But man, your dog scared the shit out of me! For a split second I thought you were under attack.

[@LondonSaxophoneSchool]

hahah Thanks Aykut! So glad the Ocean Sound is making sense for you! Amazing! That dog is so calm, you wouldn't believe! Keep up the good work!

My pleasure Mark! Glad you enjoyed this lesson as well and happy to hear you like the garden set up. Yes, it's nice to make videos outside :)

Sir you are good teacher, God bless you

[@LondonSaxophoneSchool]

So nice of you! Thanks so much!

[@Caglarsax]

You are absolutely right about the ocean sound thing .i have also found it while learning.

[@LondonSaxophoneSchool]

So glad you found it helpful. Yes, different people call it in different ways....I liked the idea of the Ocean. At the end of the end it's just understanding how to allow all the air into the saxophone avoiding any blockages. Keep up the good practice! Any questions let me know!

[@Caglarsax]

@@LondonSaxophoneSchool thank you .you are a great teacher

[@LondonSaxophoneSchool]

@@Caglarsax Thank you so much! Appreciate it! Just trying to do the best I possibly can! 😀

[@LondonSaxophoneSchool]

Thanks so much! ahha He's a very friendly dog!

[@sawnflower]

my problem lies in the lowest of notes- to play them softly from C on down- and I went in and had adjustment on horn- much better, but still need better control- I will work on the ocean....

[@LondonSaxophoneSchool]

If you work well on your middle notes then low and high notes will be a bit easier as you will have established a good control or the air flow. The Ocean Sound def helps tremendously :) Let me know how it goes!

[@emmanuelokogun9596]

What about the reed type. Doesn't it have effect on the sound?

[@emmanuelokogun9596]

I mean the size of the reed.

[@LondonSaxophoneSchool]

Yes, sure it affects the sound. But it’s all down to you, your embouchure, your throat, diaphragm first and then the gear. I recommend starting with a vandoren blue n. 2 and then move up to 2.5 and eventually 3. This process might take several months... all depends on your needs😀😀

[@edcohen9843]

Very interesting. But ... please bump up the volume of your audio. (It's definitely too low.)

[@LondonSaxophoneSchool]

Noted! Should be ok now going forwards. Thanks for the feedback!

[@peace_byfaith_platorm]

PLEASE HELP ME!!! My low notes aren't making any noise. It sounds the same as if I'm not touching any keys.

[@KrisVComm]

Could you please increase your recording levels when you are talking?

[@LondonSaxophoneSchool]

Yes, sure! Thanks for the feedback Kris!

[@KrisVComm]

@@LondonSaxophoneSchool Thank you. I want to listen as I drive and I am having to turn up to 30! Problem is when something else comes on LOL!

[@LondonSaxophoneSchool]

@@KrisVComm Ah, that's the most amazing feedback ever! Don't worry future videos will have proper sound now.

[@KrisVComm]

@@LondonSaxophoneSchool Thank you. I liked the "Ocean Sound" thing. Thank you

[@LondonSaxophoneSchool]

@@KrisVComm That's so great! So glad the Ocean Sound made sense to you! Keep up the good work Kris!
