Saxophone Voicing (SECRET to Playing Altissimo?)
Vložit

- Many teachers use the concept of "voicing" to help students become familiar with the sensation associated with playing in the high register. There is even a scientific study that seems to have proven the existence of voicing, mathematically.
Lenny Pickett, one of the masters of the upper register, has a slightly different take on voicing, and it is a very interesting point to consider.
In this video, we look at some exercises to begin gaining awareness of this process, and also a practical strategy for learning, and ultimately, applying voicing, so we can play with ease in the altissimo register.

Thank you so much for watching! I hope I can share some helpful hints that will benefit your playing, and help you reach your goals!
One hint I can make about playing altissimo is to make sure your bottom lip is not too close to the tip of the mouthpiece. Place your bottom lip where the reed starts to break away from the mouthpiece. You want the reed to vibrate as freely as possible when playing altissimo. If you place your bottom lip at the correct place, you should be able to play octaves without changing your embouchure between low and high notes. When you develop your embouchure, you will be able to jump octaves up and down very quickly without changing your embouchure. When you can do this, then you are ready to start working on the overtones. Marc does a great job at demonstrating how to play overtones.

Respect for tackling the topic! 👊🏻
Excellent tutorial thanks.
I played trumpet for 20 years before I picked up the sax. I was made familiar with the teachings of Claude Gordon by my college trumpet teacher, and caught a masterclass by Claude himself at a New York Brass Conference back in the 80's. For some odd reason it NEVER occured to me to try to adapt Claude's philosophies to the playing of the sax, until I came across your method. I appreciate the insight you have provided!
You just got a new subscriber. Good to compare this with how Brass trumpet players achieve notes by not changing fingers. Keep blowing man!
This is a great explanation and something I wish I'd known when I started the sax
Thank you for your new ideas on that topic!
Yeah man
Great video. Thanks for posting it!
Very interesting video and this is something that I have thought about. Thanks.
way cool....
I'd love to get information on the Australian research that was done if you have it
Just experiment until you can play one or two octaves extra - in tune and with the simplest fingerings possible Then use the added range in all daily scale/arpeggio exercises. Use a tuner all the time and stay away from soft reeds and mouthpieces with small openings - after a while most players discover even higher notes and better fingerings
My right ear loves this video 😍😍 other than that, this was an awesome video!
Very lovely
I have a major problem with this on the saxophone and clarinet, as I've been playing by biting on the clarinet for a very long time now. Having recently been practicing with a more relaxed embouchure has improved my tone on the saxophone but I can barely play any high notes. I recently found out that when I play just the mouthpiece I am about a fourth lower than the tone that should be produced but I'm starting to think I might need to go to the doctors to get my vocal tract fixed lol.

This video is honestly a gem. i also tried downloading the ebooks, but there's an issue where i can't click on anything once i open the links in the description. is there a way to fix that?
Where can I get this book?
