I know, you are sick of it!\u00a0 Trying to play overtones past the second or third overtone.\u00a0 Trying to get out an altissmo G or G#.\u00a0 \u00a0Trying to sound like you know what you are doing and can play any altissimo note with confidence without failing miserably………I have been there and know how you feel.\u00a0 \u00a0You need a breakthrough and here it is………<\/p>\n

In this lesson, I introduce you to a revelation I have had over the last few months while teaching the altissimo register of the saxophone to students. \u00a0This is a lesson on a technique I use to reach the altissimo notes and gain better facility up in that range.<\/p>\n

Many saxophone teachers talk about \u201cvoicing” your notes (which can be a bit vague to a student) but in my 40 years of playing the sax I have never heard the approach I teach in this lesson taught. \u00a0I recently taught this material to a sax student over Skype who was frustrated that he couldn\u2019t produce certain altissimo notes and within the half hour lesson he was popping out altissimo G#\u2019s with this method.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Although I have been using this technique since my college days, \u00a0I never realized what I was actually doing nor how to describe it to students until recently. \u00a0It was an eye opener when I realized what I was doing and how to describe it. \u00a0I hope this approach to altissimo is a game changer for those of you who have been stuck and frustrated with trying to produce the altissimo notes on the saxophone up until now. \u00a0I really believe this lesson will help.<\/p>\n

This lesson is just for saxophone players. I demonstrate the material on the tenor saxophone and give you detailed descriptions and examples in this 35 minute video lesson. (35 Minute Video Lesson)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
