Strengthen and Improve Your Tone

Benefits of Playing Soft (Transcribing Pat Metheny)

Practicing soft can do amazing things for your tone and intonation. In this video I’ll show you exactly what I mean.

Is there some kind of exercise you do to get a narrow vibrato?

Want a full-range subtone that sounds like Stan Getz? Try this technique.

I’ll show you how I use mini grace notes, lack of vibrato, direct-attack (vs. bending), pre-hearing intervals, and more, to get a polished sound.

Using syllables, directing air flow, breath support, overtones, altissimo, articulation, & some advice from my college saxophone professor.

These are the gateway not only to a great tone, but the altissimo range, as well.

What’s the secret to a great sound? Think it’s the mouthpiece? The horn, or reeds?

In this video I reveal the world’s greatest mouthpiece. This one will make you sound better than you can imagine!
