Wow fantastic help, thanks so much! Whenever I try to hit the first harmonic using the neck, I always have to change angle and extend my lower lip WAY forward, whereas you didn't need to make that adjustment at all; amazing. And I'm sure your exercises will greatly enable better altissimo which is my big weakness?
Ron, thank you for commenting, and I'm happy you enjoyed the video! Yes, these exercising will indeed help with altissimo, though I will make a dedicated altissimo video soon.
@@marcellosbrocca ASAP please!!
When I started playing saxophone I learned that alto saxophones usually sound a concert A just with the mouthpiece alone.
Thank you for your comment and watching the video. Yes, it is funny, when I look up mouthpiece pitches, some websites say that an alto mouthpiece should sound a concert A; however, that is not the case with any of my mouthpieces and with other websites. Furthermore, I don't really like to focus too much on mouthpiece pitch because of the confusion it causes and because I feel that there is no need to be so rigid about the mouthpiece pitch; but for somebody who is struggling a lot, it may be beneficial to try consistently hitting the same pitch with the mouthpiece.
Superbe vidéo ! Bravo Marcello
Merci beaucoup, Donghyun !
Very useful Marcello! Thank you 🙏
Je suis heureux que tu l'aimes, Luisma !
Excellent exercise suggestions, thanks. What would be the concert key to tune a tenor mouthpiece/neck to?
I believe you should hit a concert G for the mouthpiece and E for the neck. Though it can vary for some players and their equipment. Consistency tends to be more important, but those are the typical pitches. Thanks for commenting!
@@marcellosbrocca Thanks for that.
Wow! Such a helpful video. I KNOW I will benefit from your suggestions. Very grateful, Dr. Sbrocca. Thank you! :)
I'm so happy you found my video helpful. Thank you for watching and commenting, Michael!
@@marcellosbrocca You bet! A few of the exercises I'm going have to really study what it is that you're physically doing, but I'll figure it out. Will share your channel, Doctor. Peace
Alto sax pitch is a concert ‘A’
The pitch of the mouthpiece is a concert C, which would sound as a really high A on the alto itself.
What should one aim to improve with the last exercise with the alternating octave key? Is it just for flexibility’s sake or should the oral cavity position required to successfully do the exercise be one that’s adopted while normally playing?
Thank you for your question. As with all of the exercises, if you are able to successfully perform it, it should help you more easily play (in this case, in the lower register). It might make the notes sound more easily as well as improve pitch. Also, I don't think that it is good to constantly be thinking about what you are doing with your voicing. I think that if you practice the exercises regularly, over time you will naturally develop better playing habits.
That was really useful thanks, very much for making the video.
I'm happy you found it useful. Thank you for watching and commenting, Andrew!
Bravo Marcello ! 👏🏻
Merci, Luisma !
Stunning... such a pure tone, so expressive, and great collaboration throughout. Thanks for sharing!
