How do I get a better tone on saxophone and clarinet?
You are here:
The best way to improve tone on saxophone or clarinet is to practice! If you have an instructor or tutor, ask them what to practice and continue working on to improve your sound. If you do not, there are many online videos and services that you can use to learn more about what to work on to improve your sound.
Listening to other players is also a very good way to learn more about your own playing. Listening to other musicians is a cornerstone of working on your own musical ideas.
Finally, a quick way to explore new sounds is to experiment with your setup. Trying new reeds, mouthpieces, ligatures, and instruments is a great way to try something out!
