I have now used this each day for a week now, and have really noticed a difference in my sound. Notes seem to play easier, less mistakes and clearer/nicer sound. I like the structure of playing all the notes in the 2 octaves in 10 minutes. I also use a tuner app at the same time to see how accurate I am pitching each note, trying to use ear more than eye (but actually both). I have actually been playing for 22 years, at an intermediate level and this is the first exercise where I can honestly say it makes a noticeable difference in a short period. Going to continue. Thanks Ken.

I don't know how I've been going out doing paid gigs and have completely been neglecting long tone exercises. Today I attempted to play start back with some fundamentals. Needless to say it's all good when I'm playing fast but this exercise brought me back to middle school and high school. Have to make this a habit to do everytime I practice. It ain't the funnest thing to play but it's whats necessary and I shouldn't have been neglecting this knowing damn well Im supposed to start every practice this way regardless of my skill level. smh

Thanks Ken, this is very useful. A good exercise for the ears too. I may also play along using another harmony note.

You’re welcome. Yes, playing harmony note on these chords are useful too. They are all dominant 7th chord with the root notated in the score

I guess that this is meant for tenor, I can still use it for alto, no?

@@KenChowSaxophoneChannel Thank you, Ken. After I sent you the message, I found your alto version as well. I'm practicing it daily along with other exercises as well. Much appreciate your time and effort in this. Cheers.

Thanks for this handy video. Very useful. Please excuse my ignorance but why are some notes in orange?
@bjonzjr7 ай бұрын
I believe it’s the software saying that notes could be out of range, or close to out of range for the instrument
@kuztardd7 ай бұрын
hmm, I'm not so sure as there are notes that are higher and lower than the orange ones on the page already
