I don't think you understood my post...I know there is a difference between screaming and multiphonics. What I was saying, is that it seemed like your students were asking about screaming, and you told them how to do multiphonics, which is why I described screaming, not multiphonics. Also, growling and the humming thing are two different techniques. Growling is using the top back of your mouth almost like a gurgling type technique, and you get a growl. The humming or screaming is something you would do in high notes. I kind of get the sense that you just skimmed through my post and jumped the gun on me. ; )

i dont think you understood my post either and im not gonna explain to you what my students are asking of me, the whole point in the first place is to share some tips, not to provide a means for people like you to start an argument and try and show everybody how smart they are. Thats why I hate these things.

If you think that my puropse behind posting in the thread is to try to make myself look smart, then you are entirely to cynical for your own good. I post here to interact with others who share a similar interest(saxophone?), not to argue, and not to talk down to others, and not to talk to bitter people like yourself. You have students? Based on what I've seen from you in this and another thread, I have a hard time believing you could be a very good teacher. No matter how much you know, you have to be kind and nurturing, or no one is going to want to go through the learning process. What was the purpose of your last post? Just wondering? To get the last word? To make me look stupid? There was no information of valuable input, just you trying to make me look like a jackass. If the whole point of this was "to share some tips", that's what I was doing too. I guess if you start another one of these threads, just say "no additional input is invited". If by posting additional input into a thread you think someone is trying to look smart, then you are a very pessimistic person. Have a nice day!

I see by your community profile that you have posted hundreds of comments. Yet you haven't put down any of your experience or background in your profile? You sound like a young kid. Maybe in High School? Nothing wrong with that! I wish I were younger. But you must understand that in the absense of experience silence is golden. When you are ready to learn from older more experienced musicians, you will listen to what they say. Don't debate with them when you don't have any answers........Kelsey

I responded to this question in the Improvising thread.
