Thanks Jay. As usual, superb teaching. It was also super helpful that you left all the hesitation in on the ‘transposition in your head’! It’s easy to think that sax masters can just do this stuff. The fact that you had to do it a couple of times was a great reminder that it’s really always about the work you put in. 👍👌

Jay, thanks so much for this video. So educational seeing the details of your practice routine. And so many sensible combos I used to treat as separate issues: combining learning melodies + scale practice, combining learning melodies + long-tone practice, combining learning chords + learning melodies, and stop playing backing tracks while attempting to learn melodies.

Am really grateful for taking me through your routine, I've really learnt alot

Intermediate player here. A good player I know said to me in a very direct manner that I need to learn enclosures. Started doing this and am having a heck of a lot of fun.
Hope you and yours are doing well.

I love bettersax! Can you please make a Bettersax Baritone Saxophone

Hi Jay. I'm David from Ghana. I've been playing the saxophone for 2 years now, mostly trying to develop my technique. Your videos have been of great help. I don't have any knowledge of music theory and so it's difficult to use your sheet materials. I was hoping you could recommend to me what I can do to be able to read your sheets. Thank You

Hi Jay...Thanks for this video....would you share your idea what is actually going thru your brain when playing improvisation with the backing track?

[farrelly]

Is there any way to lower the volume of a sax without a mute. That's problem number one for anyone who must live in an apartment.

[officialshadrachgh]

Am a beginner and am struggling with my breathing, what can I do to solve this problem

[jimburns]

Jay, what do you think of the Cloudvocal Flashtrack DSP microphone ? Would you ever consider using during daily practices ?

[jimburns]

Jay, how do you like the neck straps that you are wearing ?

Hi my name is Nigel. I’m 62. I’ve been trying to get in contact with you. If you could help me find some material that will help me learn the baritone saxophone kind regards, Nigel Burgess from the Netherlands.

Why did you skip the long tones? I was eager to see how you go about it.
