Welcome to Gaia! ::

As for low note help, here was the way I taught to get them out. I was told to "put more lip on the read". How do you do this? By moving your top teeth closer to the tip of the mouthpiece. There's an excercise for this, but unfortunately it's hard to explain with typing. But I'll try.

Start on a low G. Hold it for about a 2 beats, then press the octave key for a second, then release the octave key, going back to the low G. After releasing the octave key, decresendo to as quiet as you can get before there is no sound. Then do this same thing going down cromatically (sp??? xp ) each time. When you get to about an E, start doing the thing I said above. Move your teeth about a millimeter closer to the tip of the mouthpiece, so that when you get to a low Bb, you teeth should be near the end of the mouthpiece, and you'll be able to get the lower notes out better if you practice this every day.

Hope that helps! biggrin

Oooh help with vibrato please. My schedule at school got changed because I have 2 things all term so I only have my elective for 2 terms. Our bd is teaching everyone how to vibrato (they suck... bad except for 3 people xd ). Lol also today my friend said that our bd said "What happened to the saxophones? There used to be a good sound, maybe because (my name ninja tis unknown to you) left" lol so yeah. Help I don't want to fall behind and be crappy next term. I'm following them on the book but I need some other info and stuff. Also I would like to know your views because I figure other band geeks know more than directors xp Done with my rant.

Come on someone help me please

Hmmm...its hard to teach that online...lol...I know an excercise for that too...and it helped me durastically, but I'm not sure how to explain it.
