RE: Tenor Sax

I remember switching from clarinet to tenor sax in jazz band last year and I just remember having to tell myself to keep the embouchure looser, mainly with the bottom lip; you don't really want the embouchure as tight. I'm really not quite sure about why this worked from a technical standpoint, but it did for me. It just takes practice and adjusting-eventually you'll get the hang of it. Also, keep the air support there(though this also might have been my own problem being I am always working on air support). The low notes need a lot of air and I always tried to think of pulling my jaw down a little. I hope this helps.
