Hello saxo-world, it has been a few weeks! Thank you so much for your patience during this brief gap in content. As many of you may know, I am currently knee-deep in pursuing a DMA degree at Bowling Green State University. I am really enjoying this program, however, this means that content output may interrupted from time to time by pressing matters that arise during in my studies. I appreciate your patience during these brief gaps.
Anyway, I have been teaching many of my college sophomore sax technique students altissimo and have found an exercise that has been especially helpful in their growth. Overtone matching is great for practicing altissimo and improving your tone and intonation! Credit to Reese Burgan, who first introduced me to this exercise a few years ago.
