Sax Practice Routine: The Perfect HOUR? | Free .pdf of exercises!

[@bilbostoy]

I returned to playing saxophone two years ago and wanted to really study. I viewed the many of the KZbin sax schools and decided Dr. Wally had the most logical argument for following his course. I started with his free 12 month fundamental course and am now a member of the Saxophone Academy. I think it is important to play everyday for at least 15 minutes. I start with the low Bb exercises and work on tone, technique and artistry. I am retired so I have more time to practice but it is still a hobby. The last month of the fundamental course I found really helped me so I do that study twice a month. I listen to music at least one hour a day or more and really enjoy it. I don't try and stress in how I am progressing because I know music will keep my ageing brain sharper and I would rather listen to Hank Mobley or Gene Ammons than watch the news. Good luck to all the saxophone community!

[@drwallysax]

Fantastic, keep it up! Happy Friday!

[@hflynnjr]

The exercise I worked on that gave me the most benefit was I decided to pick one artist and study their recorded work from beginning to end, and I chose Joe Henderson. I didn’t actually finish yet, but I took 5 months and listened from beginning to end each of Joe Henderson’s Blue Note albums. I started with Page One and ended with Mode For Joe. I did one album per month, and I would listen from beginning to end at least once per day, sometimes more. The first benefit that came to me was it got me practicing diatonic 7th arpeggios. Joe plays them ALL THE TIME! That morphed into more triad studies and practicing that all of that in all 12 keys every day really upped my technique a lot. Plus, what an enjoyable experience learning Joe Henderson’s sound and evolution. He has such a beautiful arc of a career from his Blue Note days to his albums at the end of his career where he seems to reflect back. It’s really a beautiful thing, and starting from the beginning and taking my time going through that was just a great experience.

You can usually tell the difference between tenor sax and bassoon by the smell (5:00)

[@stanwilkins-b7e]

Dr. Wally, I am a true beginner, (never ever picked a sax up). Age 58 and just retired. Have Always wanted to learn the sax and now I have the time. What is the best way to start learning. I watch videos and don’t have a clue of what they are talking about. I have been practicing going on my 2nd week. I have been working on the basic 7 notes and finger placement, long tones from those 7 and tongue articulation. When I hear major,minor, flat,sharp, I don’t have a clue as to what they are saying. What direction would you suggest I go in. My goal is to be playing in front of people, (church) in a years time from now. Thank you for any help you can give. Stan

[@parkerpolen]

Hey, Dr. Wally. Nice seeing you again! I have been in a fixated state of practice for a time duration that has lasted too long. I can not stop improvising over jazz standards, and it has become redundant. It has gotten to the point of being the sole reason that I pick up the horn. This is, however, not realized without an underlying theory. I heard in an audiobook on jazz improvisation once that Joshua Redman learned most of what he plays on the bandstand, and I figured that it would be a good idea to take after him and set aside some time in life to do the same. On the contrary, a recent addition to my practice sessions has been the incorporation of my own fathomed scale studies with melodic chromaticism. I finally feel like I'm making useful progress again. Nonethless, I need to be more disciplined in finding continuity and diversity in practice. However, the most useful thing that I have been doing in order to refine my overall sound, including swing feel and articulation, is my writing etudes over tunes and implying my own melodic interpretation over them.

It's so good to see you back again, I've missed the videos and the podcast (although it has given me a chance to catch-up with the podcasts and I'm now only 10 behind!). However, I've been using Exercise Zero since you first introduced it in the Fundamentals book and it is a regular part of my practice schedule - it's great and the benefits are quite clear; unfortunately my overtones are still "work in progress"! Best wishes, Peter.

[@WilliamCarterII]

This is great. I can do this during my lunch break at work. I get about 4 hours in the day when I can reasonably practice when school isn't in session. (I work at night so I sleep until like 10am PST) I can do my usual routine (Transcriptions, scales charts, changes) and then this.

If I only have 15min before I leave for work, I always do my 12 major scales (1) octave worth by memory. When I could finally do this it was a gigantic confidence builder, and fun. Later once I put the circle of fifths letter sized graphic in front of me, I could do even better with majors and relative minors. And go through the fundamentals book with much more fun. 😊

The perfect hour to practice for me was the hour immediately after my lesson. I’d go from my teachers studio to a practice room for an hour. When I could do that, I made more progress on the saxophone than any other time period. In contrast, the 30 minutes I spent practicing just BEFORE my piano lesson…well, I’ll never be known as a piano player. 😢

[@peterhill3125]

Great lesson as ever . I have found practicing minor and major pentatonic patterns to be excellent for progressing

[@michaeldean9338]

Bingo!!! After years, I'm vindicated with Dr. Wally's bassoon/saxophone tonal characteristic(s) reference. (esp. true with the tenor.) This is made more apparent if hearing a produced tone separated by some wall or partisan. When I lived in Vegas, there was one year, each time I'd pass a particular apartment building while walking to work, there was, it would turn out to be, a UNLV bassoonist who would happen to be practicing long tones and etude studies each time I'd be passing. That entire year, I couldn't quite put my finger on what was so different about this particular tenor player's tone. Cut-to almost a year later, as I started out on my trek --like clock-work-- I hear this person practicing as usual. Only this time, just as I approached the building the practicing abruptly ceased. Just as I reached the building, the terrace door to apartment opened, and a young lady exits with a flip-phone pressed to one ear...while steadying a bassoon as she attempted to coordinate with her neck-strap. For some reason that experience has always stuck when hearing particular players, be it a tenor or bassoonist. A similar comparison can be made with certain alto and tenor players sharing tonal/acoustic qualities with that of a soprano sax's mid-range. LOL...Sorry about the rant, but you're the only other person I've yet to hear make that comparison. I wanted to give you 12 'thumbs! ups! Really enjoy your channel Peace...

[@rustyshackleford3915]

Dr. Wally, funny to hear you mention the Ferling book (which I have), because I was sort of planning to go back through my college classical saxophone books with the idea that classical training 'may' help with playing jazz. Jazz is what I always gravitated too but it was not really taught in the university I went to other than a couple of jazz bands. So my knowledge of jazz language is severely lacking. My question is that I prefer to pursue jazz and wonder if the time has come to mostly leave the classical things like etudes, behind? Being an older student like many that gravitate to your channel, there's only so much time but what about trying to manage both embouchures and time dedicated to studying both genres? Is it likely best (in this scenario) to just commit to one over the other and get on with it? Thanks for your time and effort for such a great wealth of information! Greg

Hello Dr. Wallace. One exercise that seemed to pay dividend for me getting back into playing was the Scale and Chord Loopers from Brad Carman. I've recently adopted a Circle of Fourths/Circle of Fifths sequential chord exercise over the range of the horn (including lower altissimo notes, yeah....I said it) combined with some "voice leading" from chord to chord. 🎷🎵

Hello back Getting my major key centers under control. ( I prefer calling them key centers as opposed to scales because I don’t always start on the root.) I might still stumble when a song I’m working on switches into that center, I feel more confident that it will get it back together. I need to get as comfortable with my melodic and harmonic key centers. I’ll go practice now.

[@zachm638]

One thing I did with the full range scale exercises was take 24 old playing cards and write each major and minor scale on them. I shuffle them separately and seed a deck alternating major and minor, and I'll just play however many I feel I have time for. I eventually get through them all, but they no longer dominate my practice time.

[@drwallysax]

That's a gambling addiction I can get behind! happy Friday!

[@FognarFoehammer]

Thanks, Dr. Wally. This is very helpful. Question: How do you maintain a good sound on all your saxes? For example, when I go back to tenor after spending some weeks on soprano, my tenor sound is awful. Solution?

[@pascalf2162]

Great Video! Can you recomment any kind of strategy on revisiting things you‘ve practiced maybe weeks ago? I often find myself practicing something for a maybe a week and than I practice something different and tend to forget the things I practiced before. I guess I need some kind of system for that. 😅

[@drwallysax]

Great question! Here's how I go about it: If I'm revisiting something, it's likely for a reason - concert, gig, recording session, KZbin Video, or educational content. So, on my music stand I keep the "on deck" material that I need to perform/record in the next month or so. At the end of the practice session - I go through and hit the hardest spots slowly with a metronome. For keeping jazz standards or other things memorized - I'll let you know if I ever figure that out!

[@beckyn9338]

Dr. Wally. Good to see you. I like the Ferling. Haha. I don’t love it, but it makes me better. And speaking of etudes…my guilty pleasure for practice is playing etudes written over jazz standards. There is a fair amount of them out there and I just really enjoy playing them. Maybe we need a Dr. Wally book of standard etudes? Hmmm? So much of what you related is in my practice routine. Long tones, overtones, technical practice…diatonic sevenths, etc. Good stuff. One thing…. Transcription is not only emotionally taxing, but sometimes I just want to quit sax, and run away to South America or something. The amount of distress it causes me is difficult to describe. I make little to no progress. This is incredibly frustrating. Suggestions welcome. Maybe I need to go find your YT vid on the topic. Thanks for this. Take care!

[@drwallysax]

Becky, I have terrible new. They have transcription in South America!! I encourage you to not make a value judgement on your transcription accuracy or speed, but value the consistency of the effort. Even if you get 5 notes, but do it every day...at the end of the month you've got a blues chorus. That's a TON of information and language you can apply to your practice. Small, easy, steps. Be kind to yourself, that's an order.

Thank you for the great information. I always learn something with your videos. I also play the flute as well as the saxophone so it's always kind of a struggle to manage your time and what to practice. I find I have to concentrate on one instrument at a time for good technique and everything you talked about. Sometimes I go through a phase where I just improvise with both and do it as much as possible with and without backup. I mean in order to get better at improv you have to do it a lot. Any advice for doublers on organizing your time? It's always a pleasure to view your videos.

Funny enough, I edited out a question at the end about doubling: it was a joke basically saying: "I have no idea!" And that's the truth. I don't double, and really try to not give advice on things I don't do (well). Who would be a good person to ask? Let's think about it!

[@travisalltop9134]

Dr. Wally you have often talked about the 2 most important types of scales to learn: Major and Minor. However in your Fundamentals course you concentrate on the Harmonic Minor, not the Natural Minor or Melodic Minor. Why is that? Is there something more important about the Harmonic Minor over the others? Thanks Travis.

[@drwallysax]

Yup, in short: The harmonic minor scale is the major scale of minor scales. It's the form of minor that works "functionally" in the harmony. The natural minor doesn't have a leading tone (thus not having the Dominant function) - and the melodic minor (while certainly used) does not hit the color tones of the ii-half-diminished chord (the predominant function). For minor chords operating in major keys - you're using the major scale. For chords in MINOR key ares - harmonic minor is the best tool. BUT - we use all 12 tones when soloing.

[@Emmasonsax]

Thanks so much papa

[@drwallysax]

You are most welcome!

[@ogulkoker]

I usually do mouthpiece-only exercises before the exercise zero. Do you think I should swap the order?

[@drwallysax]

I'll be honest, I don't do mouthpiece exercises or recommend them any longer. Long conversation (over coffee one day), but the short: The changes and anatomy to make the mouthpiece affect those sounds doesn't translate to actually playing the instrument. I've seen it become counterproductive in creating exaggerated portamentos, etc.' But, just my 2 cents. I'm on KZbin, don't trust some guy on KZbin! ;)

[@eschu2000]

I'm a beginning player and cannot consistently hit low Bb. Should I do exercise 0 with low C instead of low Bb? Or should I still start exercise with low Bb?

[@drwallysax]

Low Bb is not negotiable - the beginner embouchure (when correct) can easily hit low Bb! If the issue is a leak or mechanical, it encourages you to get it fixed as well. Relax, tons of air, you got this.

[@bobpremecz5429]

I'm penciling in Fridays for Dr. Wally! FYI - I just discovered the charm and clarity of Sigurd Rasher mouthpieces, especially for a dark classical sound and the ease of overtones. I'm not a gearhead by any means, but when I started playing them on all my saxes (soprano, alto, and tenor) just a few weeks ago, I fell in love with the rich sound they produced. It's bringing a new joy to picking up the sax. I even featured it with a violinist who won the Allentown Music Club's Past President's Assembly Scholarship on two duets she wrote for violin and cello (now arranged for sax) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHOzfouEdtmCa80si=SwcGp50nfbPTqVc1&t=841 (it's an unlisted video at Emma's request).

[@drwallysax]

Oh cool, I'll check that out! The Rascher mouthpieces are a hoot! I have an acquaintance that makes a modern version too, I think!
