In this video, we'll dive deep into the art of playing brighter on the saxophone WITHOUT changing your equipment. Whether you're playing pop, big band, or jazz combo gigs, this technique allows you to switch up your tone on the fly with the same mouthpiece, reed and ligature.
Discover the key principles behind playing bright: understanding how smaller chambers and specific baffles in mouthpieces create a fast-moving jet of air, and how we can replicate that same effect with embouchure control and using our tongue as a natural baffle.
But that's not all-learn the subtle adjustments to your bottom jaw to reclaim precious millimeters of the reed, allowing it to vibrate more freely and dialing up the edginess of your sound. Watch and listen as I demonstrate the impact of these techniques on the saxophone.
Stay tuned for a quick Q&A session answering common questions like, "Can I play like this all the time?" and "What's the point of a bright mouthpiece?"
