Thanks for another gem video, Thomas! I think it helps also for amateurs to do some really long playing session from time to time, like 4 hours straight. I found that I could directly see my improvements after such sessions in terms of relaxed embouchure and bigger sound, which I don't get after like 1 hour.

Thanks for your comment and for watching! I think you're hitting a very important point: All sound exercises in the world can't make up for lots and lots of practicing and playing. And for sure within a really prolonged practicing session you're able to zoom in much more

Hi Thomas, what you think about playing only with the mouthpiece as an embouchure exercise? In this case we have to put a tremendous amount of pressure to come with a sound - a terrible one if i can say so - some say we should be able to play like that in order to sound good on the saxophone!

Hey Anderson, yeah that’s a good question. For me mouthpiece exercises are for sure essential (there’s also a video about that on my channel). I think for the mouthpiece exercises we should just not worry about this. What I found helpful is to practice to relax the embouchure with the neck + the mouthpiece

@Dayzarma2 Die Soloist sind eigtl. super dafür, vor allem, wenn man eine offenere Bahn spielt. Ich hab ne G Bahn wenn ich mich nicht irre
