    All I ever hear from other music YouTubers is how the Soprano saxophone is too difficult and should be avoided until you have several years of playing another saxophone. Explaining some of the things you need to be aware of when beginning on the soprano saxophone makes it a lot less intimidating. Thank you for this excellent presentation.
  • Very informative. I have recently switched to soprano but most of the times I am feling as if my soprano is not tuned. Your video will surely help me......regards Aaliyah from India

    Here is some useful information regarding playing in tune: When you put the mouthpiece onto the sax then the note height is affected by how much you slide the mouthpiece in or out. This is common knowledge. But what many don't know is that it also affects the intonation. So there is a certain mouthpiece position where the tuning is good, and there is a certain position where the intonation is good. On a well built instrument these two positions coincide.
