Re: Can doubling on tenor sax affect my embouchure?

Hi all,

ESP and the others are right on about the doubling issue. I never hear anything like this from any of my clarinet teachers who all knew I was doubler.

However, here is doubling issue that is a tougher one to solve. I've played the Reed III book for Chicago a couple of times. It calls for: clarinet, bass clarinet, soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone. Talk about some embouchure changes.

But here's the real problem; getting all those instruments arranged in an often small space is really tough. One time the musicians were on an elevated area at the rear of the stage with each of us having a space about the size of a postage stamp. And there were some quick changes to boot.

So, some doubling problems are logistic rather than musical.
