Alot of times on my tenor sax I will squeak on the high g and g# is this just me? because my lesson teacher says its just a bad note on the tenor sax but he normaly plays alto so isn't. any suggestions on how to get this to stop easier would help because I can get it to stop I just have a hard time.


Thanks for the help

Composer,
squeeks are usually caused by too much pressure on the reed. Try letting your jaw drop just a micro-amount for those notes.

Alrite that works and I see why to cause more pressure the faster air right? because thats how I was fixing it faster air but I think its easier to lose the pressure but thank you it helps alot
