I would also recommend it for any instrumental teachers picking up saxophone as a second, third or fourth instrument or woodwind doublers, as it could be a great trouble-shooting guide for saxophone specific techniques. -- Fiona McKellar, CLASAX Vice President\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface  1 Saxophones, Mouthpieces, and Equipment Strategies  Secret 1: Selecting a Saxophone  Secret 2: Selecting a Classical Saxophone Mouthpiece  Secret 3: Selecting a Jazz Saxophone Mouthpiece  Secret 4: Customizing a Saxophone Mouthpiece  Secret 5: Mouthpiece Cushions  Secret 6: Selecting a Saxophone Ligature  Secret 7: Palm Key Risers  Secret 8: Selecting a Saxophone Neck Strap   2 Reed Strategies  Secret 9: Selecting Reeds  Secret 10: Breaking in Reeds  Secret 11: Adjusting Reeds  Secret 12: The Reed Sealing Test  Secret 13: Reed Storage  Secret 14: Rotating Reeds  Secret 15: Reviving Dead Reeds   3 Embouchure Strategies  Secret 16: Forming a Correct Embouchure  Secret 17: Determining Proper Embouchure Pressure  Secret 18: Determining Proper Mouthpiece Placement  Secret 19: Causes of a Sore Lip  Secret 20: Making a Temporary Cover for the Lower Teeth  Secret 21: Making a Permanent Cover for the Lower Teeth   4 Tone Strategies  Secret 22: Breathing Exercises  Secret 23: Finding the Optimum Tongue Position  Secret 24: Playing with an Open Throat  Secret 25: Developing Throat Flexibility  Secret 26: Overtone Exercise for Improving Tone  Secret 27: Developing Vibrato   5 Articulation Strategies  Secret 28: Chromatic Tonguing Exercise  Secret 29: Double and Triple Tonguing  Secret 30: The Bouncing Tongue Exercise   6 Finger Technique Strategies  Secret 31: Chromatic Alternate Fingerings  Secret 32: Alternate B_ Fingerings  Secret 33: Holding Down the Pinky Fingers  Secret 34: Forked E and F  Secret 35: Developing Finger Speed  Secret 36: Using the Metronome   7 Altissimo Strategies  Secret 37: Overtone Exercise for Developing the Altissimo Register  Secret 38: Altissimo Technique Fingerings  Secret 39: Altissimo Finger Exercises   8 Extended Technique Strategies  Secret 40: Circular Breathing  Secret 41: Slap Tonguing  Secret 42: Flutter Tonguing  Secret 43: Multiphonics   9 Jazz Techniques  Secret 44: The Straight Lip Embouchure  Secret 45: Sub-Toning  Secret 46: Swinging  Secret 47: Back-Accent Tonguing  Secret 48: Half Tonguing  Secret 49: Ghosted Notes  Secret 50: Growling  Secret 51: Split Tones  Secret 52: The Texas Wobble  Secret 53: The Cannonball Trill  Secret 55: Overtone Fingerings for Timbre Changes  Secret 56: Using the Metronome in a Jazz Swing Style   10 Traveling Strategies  Secret 57: Saxophone Gig Bags and Cases  Secret 58: Items to Keep in the Saxophone Case  Secret 59: Boarding Flights with a Saxophone  Secret 60: Practice and Performance Tips   Index  About the Author","brand":"Scarecrow Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038375510359,"sku":"9780810884656","price":45.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780810884656.jpg?v=1750940108","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/saxophone-secrets-9780810884656","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
