Dr Downing's unique saxophone method can
be used alongside any tutor book. Saxophone tutor books only teach
you to read elementary music. They don't show you how to PLAY
the saxophone properly. If they do try, many of them get the basics
completely wrong.
They
ALL completely ignore the Embouchure,
so vital to any wind instrumentalist.
Above all, saxophone tutor books
NEVER tell you what to do when things do go wrong.
The Saxophone Technique
Doctor does.
We show you how to play
your sax effortlessly and correctly. No matter whether you are
a beginner or an old hand, we show you how to make a
good saxophone embouchure - from the first sound to playing the highest
notes.
Low notes, high notes, altissimo
notes, how to play softly, how to play loud - easily
and with a great tone .
All this in a handy pocket
size booklet, small enough to slip in your pocket.
You learn the essential techniques of:
Saxophone sound production.
How to tongue correctly.
Playing in tune and - how to avoid the
fatal disease of "wrong-noteitis"!

book.
Do you have
problems like these?
1.
Often I cannot get a sound, no matter how hard I blow.
2. There is a distinct hiss
when I play.
3.
I cannot get the notes to play softly. They just vanish into a hiss.
4.
How do I play loud or soft without changing my lip pressure?
5.
I put the mouthpiece in the correct position but all I get is squeals.
6. I cannot get the low notes even though I am not touching the octave
key.
7.
The notes above high G are flat.
8.
I cannot get notes above top space G. They simply squawk downwards.
9.
I get squeals when I try to tongue a note.
10. My cheeks puff uncontrollably
and I get a sore throat after playing the saxophone.
11. My fingers
hurt after I have been playing for only a short time.
12. I can get top notes only
if I use very hard reeds.
All text is written in plain, jargon free English.
Whether you are a beginner or an old stager, you will find many
useful tips in the Saxophonist's Technique Doctors. We concentrate
on making sure that your basic technique is solid. It's true, Dr Downing
shows you how to play the sax.
The Music Teacher reviewer says: "...a useful
little book for the beginner instrumentalist and the non-specialist woodwind
teacher.................Attempting to solve instrumental problems without
the aid of a teacher is always difficult,....... the suggestions are based
on authentic experience."
Customers say: "Thank you. FYI your saxophone doctors revolutionized
my playing at age 44. I've been playing for 30 years. Ralph D Sherman,
West Hartford, CT, USA."
25th October 2007 Comments = The saxophone technique doctor paid
