Saxophone Tone Exercises

Hello everyone!! There are so many references and resources out there that it can often be hard to decide on where to start to improve your saxophone tone. So…I thought back to what I think would have helped me the most 25 years ago when I first started playing the saxophone. If you do these three things…you will be well on your way to a beautiful saxophone tone.

1. Playing just the mouthpiece.

2. Overtones (and overtone matching)

3. Open throat…and warm air

As a side note…I would say that the most important “non-technical” thing you could do is to have a sound concept…basically, find someone you think has a beautiful sound and listen to it non-stop.
