By studying extended techniques, we open ourselves to a very subtle and delicate process of fine-tuning our instrumental abilities, resulting in the discovery of new resonances and sonic prowess. The exercises presented in Introducing Extended Saxophone Techniques and the accompanying audio disc are designed to help cultivate the exquisite skills of refining Saxophone sound through a practice of focus, balance and patience that can be applied to any performance style or aesthetic.
