very helpful im sure someday mr.collins is going to teach me how to stand when playing the saxophone right now im a beginner i started in late march i play alto as well

Unlike Ralph, this guy can at least play a musical instrument.

A Buick with a steering wheel and molasses can we see a picture or an update on this saxophone that you speak of lol because that's going to make it interesting content you should invite him over make a dual video

Happy New Year, buddy, won't you give me some tips how to improve breathing and blowing ???

Нi buddy, what's your name? What type of reeds are more easy for sax beginning players like me?

Нi, Im a sax beginning player I wonder how can I choose right reed for me???

Awesome man!

Thanks for the tips. Will be looking for more. Subscribed.

a very nice tenor sax solo

You look like Bruce Banner (Hulk hero)

Thanks!! I play an old M V1 Selmer bari. I play every weekend. My Bari loves my JDX Jazz mouthpiece,,it sounds good where I play, but the concrete floor and the metal roof truns it muddy... I found a Brilhart Special Mouthpiece, it plays smooth and quiet, the people working there said it sounds good.. so..its my throat that needs to do most the work , I needed a refresher corse.. Thank you very much ! Bill, JoyfullSounds...

Sincerely, thank you. This is the first video I found on your channel.

keep it up great job!

this was very helpful thank you!

Great player. I remember him very much with BR Big Band.

I play flute. Then alto sax. Then Bb clarinet. I always have to use plasticover reeds and a rovner ligature.

What's a good way to keep from having a death grip on my horn ? When I am aware of it I relax my grip. I'm a 70 year old who plays flute and tenor sax. Except for the lessons I've taken advantage of on TH-cam I am self taught. I can use all the help I can get. Thank you.

Can you make a video on how to relax our thumbs? I am a beginner, and because don't know how to relax, I squeeze the horn so hard with my fingers and thumbs, my thumbs hurt really bad.

la qualité de votre instrument n'a rien à voir avec son prix . Un instrument vintage a souvent été fabriqué presque entièrement à la main d'où 1) problèmes de justesse . CES INSTRUMENTS ONT PRESQUE TOUJOURS DES NOTES FAUSSES..... 2) leur fabrication est inégale : LEUR FABRICATION PEUT AVOIR ETE TRES BONNE......OU UN PEU MAUVAISE !!! ....... 3) Le laiton qui les compose est exactement le même que celui utilisé pour les nouveaux instruments LA SONORITE N'EST PAS MEILLEURE : ELLE EST EGALE AUX NOUVELLES FABRICATIONS .....4) La solidité des instruments anciens est bien plus grande : IMPOSSIBLE A DIRE , IL FAUT ATTENDRE QUE LES INSTRUMENTS NOUVEAUX DEVIENNENT VIEUX POUR POUVOIR COMPARER ; mais les nouveaux semblent avoir été solidement construits , même plus parfois que les anciens , Leur fabrication est aujourd'hui très robotisée , et les robots ne se trompent jamais : ils peuvent travailler jour et nuit , sans jamais prendre de repos et toujours avec la même qualité...... 5) LE CLETAGE DES INSTRUMENTS ANCIENS EST PLUS SIMPLE ET PLUS FACILE A UTILISER : faux : les clétages modernes ont été extrêmement bien étudiés et leur ergonomie est aujourd'hui presque parfaite LES CLETAGES MODERNES ONT UNE ERGONOMIE BEAUCOUP MIEUX ETUDIEE QUE CELLE DES ANCIENS : ILS SONT PLUS FACILES A JOUER ........ MORALITE : un saxophone chinois coûtant plus de 10 fois moins cher qu'un SELMER VI est bien souvent meilleur que lui. Si vous avez acheté un saxo très cher , vous n'oserez jamais dire , ni penser qu'il n'est pas meilleur qu'un saxo chinois . Sinon , vous seriez trop déçu , ce serait une réaction humaine normale !!! J'ai un jour acheté un sax soprano venant de Chine , sans trop y croire , tout simplement parce que je n'avais pas beaucoup d'argent ! J'ai été surpris et ravi de voir et d'entendre à quel point il était bon ! Aujourd'hui , j'ai aussi un alto et un ténor de la même marque :pour moi , ils sont parfait et tous ceux qui les entendent ont pu apprécier leurs qualités et ont été très surpris , même les pros !!! Je précise que je ne suis aucunement payé pour faire la publicité des Chinois......... Dommage , je n'aurais pas dit non.........HAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!!

You look like Mark Ruffalo

Thank you so much for sharing a good lesson

hey baby you had a little slip up :)

Looks like you have a Conn 10M, which were some of the best saxes ever made, so that's why it sounds so good

Ok what the FUCK was that editing job? He really uploaded this without deleting that first outtake? Makes no sense

Hi was a good video i did like your opinion . Can you make a review on sax that come from aliexpress. No one do . i did buy a Yas reproduct by KALUOLIN. I did not received it yet. that would be cool to hear what you think about those reproduction and how is the playing of the instrument. thanks .... just a request :)

Would you please offer suggestions on playing "Ghost Notes". Thank-you. ...peace & blessings... George H White III expandinghorizons02@yahoo.com

I like your sound. Also, I just listened to one of your lessons. Does your band get paid for what you guys do? Who am I? I am a 38-year old musician with about two years of experience on the alto sax.

I'd add....buy from a known musical instrument shop. One used by working musicians. Stay away from "ethnic owned shops". By that I mean if you're Chinese don't buy from a Chinese shop. They usually sell "b-stock" and brands you've never heard of. In some cases "knock-offs". Don't buy from a friend "who knows somebody" Or the back of of "white van". :) Ask the teacher where to go (assuming the teacher is from a respected institution and you didn't get the name off some board at a YMCA or a park bench). In Toronto "qualified" teachers would be found at The Royal Conservatory Of Music. There's a standard they must pass to be teaching there. I'm sure there are many like this all over the US. Check out the credentials of the teacher. Did the sax teacher major in music at UCLA? Where did he or she get his or her training? Ask in the forums which shops to go to in your city (if you're unsure of the credentials of your teacher...who probably didn't get the best sax from a respectable source...possibly).

How not to play soprano sharp??

Kool

'Animal' in tone is what we really want from a Saxophone - that is what they are for

This is the coolest explanation I’ve ever heard!! Thanks a lot!!

You mentioned that you use the ha , when playing bottom Bb to G , and the E when going from middle G to G , does this mean that you would use these voicings every time you play these notes ?

Either you are very tall or that ceiling is very low.

Aim the air down towards the right thumb? Could you please elaborate on this a bit?

Good stuff, thanks. Any tips on avoiding biting the lower lip too much especially as the embouchure gets a little tired?

I play clarinet and sax. Definitely want to learn flute.

Hi, great stuff! I am a beginner and i have a problem with hurting thumb in right hand lifting the weight of saxophone. How to avoid this?

Wow. I had to sub to you :P

Hey thanks for the video, its hard for me to test different Saxaphones cause I live on Maui and we have no such store here where I can do that. I have a question, I bought a Tenor Sax Yamaha Yts-200ii paid like $1,500 for it, the sax repair guy tried it and said it was a great horn, whatever that means but what I ended up doing is I bought a $300 Claude Lakey metal mauthpiece with some rubber guards. It's definitly a different sound but it takes more breath to play it and since I'm a beginner I run out of breath faster now but oh well, nevertheless, I still enjoy it. Here is my problem, those rubber mouthpiece guards get cut by my top teeth so easily that I always end up with rubber pieces in my mouth and always having to replace the rubber mouth guards. I'm surprised that they don't sell any other material such as; leather, etc.. mouthpiece guards so you can rest your teeth on. I called wwbw and they said "tuff luck buddy" I mean, am I really the only one complaining about this??

I look up random music from MuseScore and practice it until I get it right

"like the queen of England" hahaha...good one

Great !! Video,thank very much !!

thank you!

Took u seriously until u played that one note. Fer fecks sake ye just cant go PATHAAAAAARGH like that!

fantastic.

fantastic.

Diaphragm descends during inhalation, and relaxes during exhalation and your pressure comes from your abdominal muscles. Diaphragm doesn't work on exhalation. thanks.

is it supposed to hurt a tiny bit at first? and do always have to push out your diafram when you play, as in always have a fat belly, great advice by the way
