LIEV's SAXOPHONE Lessons

July 20, 2023

Excellent lesson today, Liev! 

For next week's lesson, focus on:

• moving through the Standard of Excellence vol. 1 that you already have

• the first 3 pdfs below in the Exercises section

• Hedwig's Theme duet (bottom of Duets section)

I loaded up this page with tons of different stuff - this will give us plenty to work on for the next few weeks!

Exercises:
 
Practice these "Sneaky" exercises - these will help you figure out just how to use the shape inside your mouth to get the very lowest and very highest notes in our range.
Remember that your mouth stays the same shape on the outside but on the inside:
                  • shape like you're saying "eeeeee" for the high notes

                • shape like you're saying "oooooo" for the low notes
