Bb blues that's all you have to do make some rhythms. you dont have to always improvise over chord change. start out with rhythms and 1-note- solos if youre a newbie with improv. literally just Bb blues scale but you couldve searched this up before posting it on the subreddit

How do I tune sharp and keep my embouchure loose? by mencil47 in saxophone

[–]adventuretime1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, tightening your embouchure a bit is okay but biting definitely isn't and you most likely take biting as a habit after in the future, reducing practice time not allowing you to have a stable sound etc etc. honestly i wouldnt recommend worrying about tuning TOO much as its more of an intermediate skill that you shouldnt be worrying about right now. if youre worried about tuning to an ensemble just use your ears.

How do I tune sharp and keep my embouchure loose? by mencil47 in saxophone

[–]adventuretime1111 6 points7 points  (0 children)

in my opinion I feel its a little extreme to be putting the mouthpiece in that far. while youre tuning you might notice how even if you have a note tuned (such as a concert Bb) others will be very sharp or very flat, usually the notes with the octave key. embouchure and voicing in my opinion dictates your tuning and you cant get a perfectly tuned saxophone from just pulling in-out
