Step 1
Warm up your jaw muscles for a few minutes before you start playing vibrato. Repeat the sound "wah" or "yah" continuously.
-
Step 2
Play any note on your tenor saxophone. Make sure you can produce this note steadily before moving on.
-
Step 3
Move your jaw down slightly. Use the same motion it takes to say "wah," like you did during your warm-up.
-
Step 4
Bring your jaw back to its original position without tightening your throat.
-
Step 5
Repeat Steps 2 and 3 continually. Start with slow movements and maintain a constant flow of air to create vibrato.
-
Step 6
Practice with a metronome set at around 60 beats per minute (bpm). Alternate up and down motions with your lower jaw on each beat. Raise the speed of the metronome 1 or 2 bpm each day as you master vibrato for beginner tenor saxophone.
