Tape weights on to your tongue then move it up and down 400 times and repeat 2 times a day for 6 month or until desired strength is received
I'm doing weight training on a regular basis and I never thought that the pyramid principle could be applied for practicing saxophone
In another word: PRACTICE
Minh Khang Lê Hàn woah I didn’t know you played the saxophone, Jotaro!!!
Jazz can help you beat up some people
I had no idea this was a book thence when i saw this a year ago lol
Jojo reference*
Yare yare daze
This is a spectacular video! I needed this so much, and I know alot of others in my level of musicianship (Im a highschooler) who needs advice on single tongue training. Ive been stuck at 110 for the last month! Today I finally hit 120, so that was exciting. Thats a bunch.
I can't tounge 130 bpm 16th notes in Crazy for marching band.
zeroparchment 94 tongue**
I can’t even tongue 16th notes at 100 bmp lmao
Why have I never thought about this it’s so smart!!
definitely your best video up to date, i liked the comedic value of a skinny dude trying to make fitness training analogies! keep it up
Dude, that's about the most logical exercise for tonguing I've ever seen. Thanks!
Wow! Fabulous content, pacing & enthusiasm has inspired me. I'm adding this technique to my new regimen! Thank you, thank you! (BTW: you are the most innovative, musically-accessible sax player I have ever heard. Never stop, please!)
The strings on his jacket are driving me nuts. :-P
I have a feeling this is gonna work for me! Thank you!
thanks for breaking this down so clearly!
You communicate WELL!!!
It’s make sense to me, gonna apply it in my practise session. Thank u so much Derek
What a fascinating video, much appreciated.
its very nice and important information.
i have a big curiosity about fast tongue for a while
you resolve it.
thank you for your brilliant lesson.
priceless
Holy fuck I was listening to a podcast so I was on 1.5x speed so when you started playing I was like damn I should listen to this guy
thanks a lot for the tips, very useful, I managed to go up to 4 notes. However low C sounds bad, very difficult to speed up. Any tips for handling low C , low B are very welcome. Thank you for the great lessons.
crap my all region is in a week ... etude speed is at 124, i can tounging max is 110..
Could you give us tips on jazz and swing music.
They’re all fantastic, but probably your best tutorial IMO.
this is a great video! first video i’ve watched of you and i’m definitely subscribing.
Good advice Derek 👍😎🎷
the problem I have is that I can tongue single notes quickly but when I start to play a scale at faster speeds my tongue and fingers get out of sync. What's a good way to increase playing speed and keeping tonge and mouth synced?
As with all things...
Practice, practice, practice. This is the hardest part of playing any given instrument, but it can be especially difficult for winds. If it's a specific section of a piece, try perhaps playing the notes slurred, then do it only with tongue on open notes, and then play the whole thing. Playing with a metronome also certainly helps keep both parts of your body which you're not used to using together together. #1 thing imo is a light tongue. If you try to compensate for the lack of coordination in the beginning with a heavy articulation, you're doomed. It will just not sound good that way. Practice getting the notes as *close* as possible to slurred without getting them slurred. To do this, start preferably at a slower tempo and then slowly speed up. I hope I answered your question!
@@marc-andremorel2174 I struggle with my tonguing alot, I don't know how to fix it, been playing for about 3-4 years now
Great explanation💯💯
Fantastic stuff!
I have 12 hours to learn how to do 12 16th notes at 120 bpm, on my Baritone Sax.
how did it go?
I did good on the piece and the notes, but my bari sax was 60 years old so they didn’t like the way it sounded,
@@plumpdy5810 cant blame it on the instrument plenty of old saxophones sound amazing like mk vi baritone sound amazing. Its probably a personal tone problem.
I think ive taught myself the wrong tongue position in my many years of playing that i'm going to have to relearn im really struggling with it.

love you
If its too fast, just double tongue. It does take a while to get used to but it pays off so much and your tongue doesn't get tired nearly as fast. Just practice double tonguing and you're set!
what if you still need to go faster
Xternole yeah but that’s a really really hard technique and it doesn’t really sound the same
@@artistictutorials3246 how fast do you want to play?? I think double and triple tonguing are fast enough. If you want to play fast without dealing with the hassle of tonguing, though, then just slur the notes together.
Xternole I didn’t say triple tonguing isn’t fast I said it’s super hard to do and doesn’t sound quite right
@@artistictutorials3246 do you want clear sound with fast tonguing?
I’m trying to do the Zelda theme, but I suck at fast 16th notes lol
I love this....❤️❣️❤️
I don't have enough time to practice might just have to get this abscence
How much time do you recommend spending on this daily? I really only practice my tonguing with scales and while reading difficult rhythm etudes. I haven't seen this approach before, but this method makes complete sense to me!
do it
Derek, I am high school student and i want to buy some your sheet music and learn to play a song. Which one would you recommend? I'm looking for a relatively easy piece to get me into this genre of music. Thanks!
picubed_13579 you have to know how to do the techniques first
@plcubed_13579 What a great question! I, too, am looking at attempting Derek's techniques and style of playing. I'm curious as to which song Derek will suggest. I'm from the classical world so I know the importance of this formula: Technique/Sound regimen + emulating the greats = musical you! Good on you for seeking that balance so early in your life. Along your journey to sounding like the greats, I hope you'll feel free enough to sound like you, too. All the best.

4:20 he starts demonstrating around here
Nothing with saxophone is instant.
I practice at least an hour a day. If I'm off work then at least 3 to 5
Derek be lookin like mirio after the barber
What's your view on "anchor tonguing". I have heard some can get to a higher tempo using this technique. I have never used it and it feels very awkward. Is it worth it?
anchor tonguing may be faster, but it is not as clean as normal tonguing is. it has a signature "thw" thud sound to it, which is not suitable for all styles. my advice is you stick with the traditional way of tonguing
Wait is your ligature for a Soprano Saxophone?
that’s a tenor
@@icyjam1687 thanks Bro you are awesome
Jason Andrews you’re welcome
what the fuck

So I initially misread this title as "insider *sex* stuff" instead of "insider *sax* stuff", and immediately passed this on to my drummer friend who has a history of failed marriages. ;)
It would feel more enjoyable to practice scales than this 😭😭😭
How do you even tongue?
