The tool by tool approach makes it easy to understand - thank you! An example on a 4/4 standard including runs of 8ths would be appreciated (how I struggle with the offbeat articulation, as a beginner)
Great lesson, Jamie. One cannot learn "musicality" and "expression" soon enough. There are so many advantages to getting exposed to these techniques in an early stage of learning the instrument.
Thanks Jamie, a great lesson incorporating so many pearls of wisdom. Would it be possible to add a pdf of the underlying tune (with or without markup)? I'd like to add this to my daily practice regime ;)
Great video Jamie. Me being as new as I am, I found this incredibly helpful. It may also be helpful for me to compare the 3/4 time signature music to the 44 or others. And I’m also trying to learn how the accidentals work withon, above and below the stave. I have been searching RUclips for days and many hours and you’re the best that I have found. I thought you would wanna know..
Wow never seen the question like this before...usually I add some notes to my partitures to let them more interesting but I finally obtain only to let them not seem any more like original song 🤦🏻♂️ Thank you very much for this guide line I'll try it immediately 😊
Nice!! Its great practice to analyze this song and when you add all the dynamics, it just opens up into a great tune!! Great job , of showing us the difference between a simple song and a wonderful song by the use of dynamics!! I enjoyed this video. Thanks Jamie!!
Yet again another great instruction video. Off topic, I was thinking of a second saxophone doing soft assending and descending shapes in the background. Eighth notes?
It's nice to hear the contrast between the and after (adding all the phrasing techniques) versions of this tune. I was hoping you would go into a solo after playing the head. Ha. "My Favorite Things" is one of the reasons I started playing soprano, along with Yusef Lateef's "Love Theme from Spartacus", which he played on oboe.

FYI... In Morse code your first 4 bars are D D D M. I'll stop now :)

Sorry, you’ll have to screen shot it! It’s in the real book though.

Accidentals (flats, sharps and naturals) are the same all over the stave.
Superb presentation Jamie & great advice as ever- added to the list of favourites cheers for posting such great content

Brilliant as always, hardest bit for me… that half tongue stuff 🥴
You can do it!
Makes so much sense!
Is this a similar method to playing 'Swing'?
I often struggle with making Swing sound right.
Not really. I’ve got vids on phrasing.

You had me at your 'after' version of the waltz. Solid work, Jamie.
My #1 non sax playing fan!
Hello Jamie! Are you playing the soprano up an octave or is that a sopranino?
He’s playing soprano saxophone up one octave from the written note.
@ Thanks!
What Alberto said.
Great tutorial.
How to integrate with a Section or within a small band would also be interesting.
Iv got a vid on that.
Isn't there a quarter note missing in the fourth bar?
It's a quarter note and half note in the bar
