Hello, and welcome back continuing on and learning how to play the sax. Let's keep going from where we left off last time we were talking about B. And just again up close B and A and A G. So B, A G. And the reason one of the main reasons why we learn those notes first is because of the gold classic Hot cross buns. Hands up who likes Hot Cross Buns? Yay. I can't hear you hands up who likes Hot Cross Buns?
Sorry, this is getting a little bit weird. Apologies for that. Hot cross buns. One a penny two a penny Hot Cross Buns or an all the variation on the net theme. Hot cross buns, hot cross buns, UI good gooey, hot cross buns. So using our big Now I and Dougie, have a listen you probably know this melody but just in case you don't have a listen.
So, Hot Cross Buns nice and slowly Hot cross buns, hot cross buns, One a penny two a penny Hot cross buns, etc. You probably know the song. Now what I've done over here, just off camera is we've got a backing track, and I made this backing track just mocked it up on GarageBand. It will be downloadable somewhere here. I'm not sure where it is on the page, but there will be a backing track for this hotline. Cross Buns division, we just have to play now.
Please download it. Please see if you can play along. It's very slow. It's nice and simple. Okay, I really will do it with the backing track Hot cross buns. It's nice and slow.
See if you can keep up. Obviously, this will keep playing the video here you're watching will keep playing. So please see if you can keep up. But if you make a mistake, there's no such thing as a wrong note in when you're playing music when you're playing saxophone, there is no such thing as wrong notes. There is I Ghibli? Yes, perhaps a different notes that could have been played at that moment in time.
But that's okay. The beauty of here with the video lessons is that you can stop it and you can start it again and you can have a little bit of a play and then you can press play again here on the on the video and so on and so forth. I will also have the notes for in the order that we are playing this As a little cheat sheet, a little PDF that you can that you can download or print, or it'll be on the screen here as well somewhere. We let's see how we go Hot Cross Buns nice and slow, a ready to bars introduction. Ready try that again. Are you ready?
Here we go. 3412 ready now again All right nothing is on quite warm enough to stop there. How did you go? How did you go? Was that okay? Was that too fast too slow?
Let's see if we can do that again maybe once more with feeling in the middle with instead of oui oui, hot cross buns. Let's say that little middle bit see if we can get the one up penny. So we got the tongue happening here. One up penny to penny. So we got ji ji ji ji ji a A BAG. All right, let's try that once more with the backing track.
Again, we've got two bars introduction 1234223. Now once more for laughs Excellent, well done. I'm sure that was well done. Maybe if you get really excited to see if you can record that maybe you can record it on your phone, on an iPad, see if you can record it. And if you want to, let's leave on the edge email, email me a copy. Let me hear how you've gone.
That was well done. Remember a few quick things when you're playing. When you are tonguing Hot Cross Buns with your tongue. It's all one constant breath. And your tongue is stopping the air coming out of your mouth and going into the saxophone mouthpiece. So it's not a it's not your breath.
It's not your stomach. It's not your body controlling that is one Long breath and your tongue is stopping the air, but your breath is still going. So once more, let's do it just quickly, just one more time. Hot cross buns. Follow me 1234 again. Fantastic.
Well done Hot cross buns. Take it off the list. You rock you rock. You are awesome. Let's keep learning how to play the sax in the next lesson. Thanks heaps.
I will talk to you very soon well done.
