  • Went to your freeweb site. not free at all unless $9+ is free.

  • @Fluffyninjacake One time at band camp... :P

  • having puffed cheeks isn't necessarily bad. Some people such as lee konitz, and Don Menza will play with stretched cheeks. There are also a lot of embouchures that players play with. The best thing I could recommend when trying to develop an embouchure is to look at videos of saxophonists playing. pay attention to their embouchure and what they're doing with their throat. That is definitely going to point you in the right direction.

  • @paraguayrules well said

  • it wont stretch your cheeks unless you are doing something, very, VERY wrong.

  • @marquosch no its not true, i've been playing sax for 5 years

  • I still don't have any idea how to make the sound "higher" than standard sound when I blow. Can anyone tell me how to do that?

  • @MASTERCHIEF2434 . .. .I recommend purchasing Larry Teal's Art of Saxophone Playing and Dave Liebman Book on Finding your own personal sound on Saxophone. This is guy is starting folks off with a basic approach. He did not go to in depth, which must not have been his objective in the lesson. However, if you do your research amongst professional players who have printed material like I mentioned above you will find Warm air is accurate.The need for a relaxed open throat is essential to good tone

  • @marquosch

    Ummm, no. hahaha where did you hear that? Maybe trumpet, because thats much different to sax, but no, it doesn't stretch ur cheeks.
