Playing the saxophone Falling from Altisimo A? (and falls in general)

[Colin the Bear]

For a note bending exercise, I don't think you can beat playing tunes on just the mouthpiece.

Mouthpiece position can confusticate altissimo.

Get the horn on tune with itself.

Just reporting back - part of the secret is just getting real confident with the altissimo A; and chappie loves his altissimo A in his arrangements, so lots of practice.

He also seems to like glissing down to Bb
In both registers. So that's fun. (I play low C, Bb, second overtone for that. Seems the thing to do)

My first real altissimo note on tenor, and maybe my favorite. Probably why I popped out four of them to get a ride going at the 1:47 mark:
