    Are there any other non-saxophone players out there who love learning about/applying Bob’s musical approach? I play bass and trombone, and I feel like I get so much out of following Bob’s channel

    Bob, I am a 1971 graduate of Berklee, a composition major and saxophone player. I just want you to know how we all appreciate the time and professionalism you exhibit on every video. You inspire all of us to be better. I also really enjoy the little bits of your Family. I know how much work it is to create these videos, they are all gems. Keep on keeping on!

    it took me 3 months to realize that the ppp in the title meant super quiet

    As a jazz flute player. I totally agree with quiet practice and what it does to embouchure. I noticed years ago that quiet practice helped me learn where and how to focus the air and get every note clear and super quite. And that when I put some air behind it for the full tone practice, that I have greater control of the sound. I am learning the alto and find this practice equally as useful. Thanks for doing these videos! You put into humanism what it means to be a pro player, dad and aspiring musician.

    Bob, it brings me great joy to see you at home with your family. Watching many of your vlogs I often feel sad that you worry too much about anonymous viewers like me while you miss out on spending time with your family which is so much more important as long as the kids are still small and really need you. Don't get me wrong, I am tremendously thankful for all the things you do. You are an amazing artist as well as teacher you deserve all the success I can imagine.

    Hell yes, that's really motivating since you seem to really embody this way of living life. I think more and more about practicing music as a way of meditating.

    I’m going to incorporate the way you continue through with the fingerings while taking a breath. So often I will completely stop what I’m doing to take a breath because to my mind, “I have to breathe, therefore everything must stop.” No, it doesn’t. I can still keep the time while drawing in the next breath.

    Bob, you don’t know how much it means to get your guidance - both in the shed about what and how you practice, but also just in everyday-life. As a young aspiring musician it’s just nice to see that it’s possible to live life both as a musician and as a family man.

    I first heard Mark Turner practicing like this years ago... It was so exciting to me that I could practice so quietly without disturbing other people... Although I do enjoy a good old toot! 😂

    I'm glad you said that about the 4ths and 5ths. I showed my younger cousin that the "circle" of fifths could be interchanged with the "cycle" of fourths. Her band teacher scolded her! lol! Preach!

    Love these vids as always! Just so real, genuine and warm. Thanks Bob!

  • @elguapo4014

    This is such a great approach! 🙌🏽 and love getting centered before I even start my practice: I do a pattern chromatically.

    Man, I'm not a sax (or even a wind-instrument) player, and I've literally rewatched every one of Bob's Vlogs over the last week for motivation. Thanks for doing these!

    Seeing you shed like this is really inspiring. You seem relaxed and at peace as you gently refine and re-refine. The camera angle is also great because I get to see your throat and jaw making subtle shifts on some of these intervals. Very cool, Bob. Thanks for sharing.

    Made my day to see another Vlog. Thank you for sharing with us in a way that makes sense no matter what instrument we play. Back on the VI, gear nerds notice.

    Great video Bob, I like your ideas on timing and playing rhythmically. Good to see you like this, you seem really relaxed and enjoying your practice and your son playing in the garden. Thx 🙏🏻
