    Hi Donna, REALLY HELPFUL - I have been struggling to get that first overtone on Bb - and your video has helped me achieve it!

    The video is helpful, thanks. Do you keep the octave key depressed when going from the trick fingering to the desired fingering? Thanks.

    • @DonnaSchwartz
      @DonnaSchwartz  3 года назад

      No octave key at all when doing overtones

    Hey Donna, really interesting video, thx :) i am a beginner (playing 4 months) but i am able to get those 1st and 2nd overtone real easily. You mentioned to develop first a good embouchure, so shall i wait some months or give it a go?

      Check to make sure you are not biting to get those first 2 overtones. There are other overtone-type exercises I do with my students that I also cover in Get a Killer Saxophone Tone course that prepare for this particular exercise.

    hi Donna...(love your videos) .....any point in overtones once you have a strong altissimo?.....I know a couple of teachers who don't promote their practice. thanks

    • @DonnaSchwartz
      @DonnaSchwartz  3 года назад

      Yes they should be continued because it's not just for altissimo. Think of it this way, does a pro basketball player ever stop practicing free throws?

      @@DonnaSchwartz good point....one more thing: if you can play overtones on alto should you be automatically able to do so on say tenor......or would you expect there to be some "adjustment" necessary? Thanks

    • @DonnaSchwartz
      @DonnaSchwartz  3 года назад

      You do have to adjust

      @@DonnaSchwartz how high up the overtone hierarchy is it useful to be able to go....just the first few or way up? Also is it useful to be able to play them on Bb, B , C and C# or is it enough to just use Bb? Thanks

      Have your sax checked for leaks, then check out my video with 1 tip to help you get low notes: ruclips.net/video/eOmfGstf7Hg/видео.html&lc=Ugz8ihDEEqhqEXd7Ytl4AaABAg
