Today we head back to James Barrera's Blog (The Sound of Sax). James has posted a great find from YouTUBE. The clips are from a promotional ad featuring Sigurd Rascher.

The video is of course old. But, there are some timeless topics presented throughout. One section I really liked comes in video 3. He discusses tongue placement for tonguing, and shows a pretty classy graphic (for the 1950's :-). And the other section I really liked is his discussion on practicing difficult passages. He demonstrates how to practice passages using different rhythms.
I could go on and on - he also demos practicing overtones. Check out his "sax without keys".
