It is so great to see Joe again in action! I studied Sax with him in the 70's at his home, and at NEC. Joe taught me more about music, and about myself, than anyone. I Loved that man ! Paul Mendelsohn
I studied with Mr. Allard for 10 years (I never called him Joe out of respect; I was only 16 when I began with him in his studio across the street from Radio City Music Hall). The overtone series was used with me to relieve the excessive biting that I used in forming my embouchure. The point was not a beautiful tone at this point. Joe's tone was beautiful especially on the alto sax. His clarinet sound was beautiful also. Toscanini would not settle for less.This video was made when Mr. Allard was suffering from Alzheimer's disease. In his prime he was a great teacher. as you can tell from this video he had to be prompted frequently, but that was not the case when I studied with him from 1965 to 1975. I am so grateful to be able to see him in the video but saddened to see his intellect diminished by the disease.
You have it wrong on the overtones. You are moving your jaw around. This video taken in Joe's later years does not do him justice. He was brilliant teacher and a wonderful person.
You're not supposed to sound good playing tone exercises Apparently Joe's Allard wind strength was so strong he could blow and keep a piece of paper on a wall for at least 1 minute Have you seen the extensive list of Joe's students? He must be doing something right

Don't worry he still looks fit...!
Great lessons. Wish I had seen this thirty years ago; would have saved me a lot of wasted time.
Please do upload more of this VHS. You would do a great service if you did. Thanks. I really enjoyed this one.
This is excellent...Will you please upload the other parts?
Thanks for this, it really is a true rarity. Can we expect more parts to come?
Brilliant! One of my heros, thanks so much for posting.
Thank you for posting this!
Thank you...what a great resource.
Non è solo un problema di imboccatura, ma anche di emissione,
Joe is very old in this video. I see what you mean though. :(
have you read the video discription?
So, have you never played a calrinet?
