recently i was struggling with a few bars of music, and just kept tripping up, and then i discovered it was easier to practice the finger movements on the sax first for the bars in question without blowing the sax – until i could play the fingers smoothly. Then presto no probs blowing.
yes good discovery….I used to mentally read the chart all the way thru before even blowing it. you discover where you’re going to trip up so ironing out those bits makes you sound good, or at least better the first time blowing thru it
