An Inside Look into the Joe Allard Approach of Saxophone Playing!
February 13th, 2010 | 
Author: Gary Jones on Sax on the Web posted this up for all to see. He happily gave me permission to post it up here also. Gary studied with a graduate student years ago that was one of Joe Allard’s best students at that time.
Joe Allard (December 31, 1910 – May 3, 1991), a native of Lowell, MA,was a famous saxophone and clarinet professor at Juilliard, The New England Conservatory and The Manhattan School of Music. Some of his most famous students were: Michael Brecker, Eddie Daniels, Bob Berg, Dave Liebman, Paul Winter, Steve Grossman, Kenneth Radnofsky, Bill Pierce and many many others.
I found reading this both fascinating and enlightening. Many of the tips on reeds I had never heard before. I love how relaxed it all feels when you’re reading it. The more relaxed and natural everything is the better. Thanks so much to Gary Jones for writing this out and making it available to the saxophone community!
