Hi Wayne,

if you want to check out John’s Premium Membership, note there is a module on Tone Development which includes his comprehensive video course on the altissimo range.

How are your overtones, starting from low Bb?

Sometimes i can hit altissimo g sometimes not, i find you need to bounce your airstream of your top palate and really…[Read more]
