I think you have a great course. It's information I wish I had access to when I started playing many years ago. The main takeaways are the "ocean sound" and the "air glue method"

Martino Scovacricchi


Hi 👋, 

I have been playing the saxophone for 26 years. 
I spent my teenage years practicing more than going out with my friends (sad and nerdy, I know). Playing music became a true passion very early on, and I became obsessed with refining my playing down to the smallest details.

After graduating with honors from the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Turin, I already had more than 7 years' worth of heavy-duty practice under my belt. I then came to London (thanks to the CRT Master dei Talenti Scholarship) to further my studies at the Royal Academy of Music, and that's where things really started to change.

I was surrounded by masterful players who, like me, practiced more than going out ahaha. 

I realized I was not crazy, and my musical peers were even more perfectionistic than me. I gained an incredible amount of knowledge by being immersed in a high-level musical environment, being able to breathe and absorb music from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to bed at night.

Then, I spent 2 years at Berklee College of Music, which was the big kick I needed to truly grow as a saxophonist and musician. 
At Berklee, not only did I have the opportunity to attend masterclasses from the likes of Paul Simon, Benny Golson, and Joe Lovano, but my playing went through a transformation as I was in the process of switching from classical to jazz playing.

I'm thankful to all the teachers I've had over the years. Regardless of the instrument I took lessons on (yes, I also have a degree in cello performance), all my teachers were the best teacher training school I could have possibly wished for.

Since I was 15, I have always known that teaching was going to be a big part of my career. Since founding the London Saxophone School in 2013, I have had the chance to meet wonderful students of all ages and abilities, direct ensembles and groups, and host masterclasses with the likes of Eric Marienthal, Bob Reynolds, and Krist Urbanski.

I have taught 15,000 students so far who, unconsciously, have helped me develop effective methods to bring a student's skillset forward quickly and efficiently. 

Effortless Embouchure 2.0 is built from everything I’ve learned through years of teaching and working with thousands of saxophonists.
The course focuses on simple, practical exercises that actually work. 
No overthinking, no abstract theory — just clear guidance you can apply straight away to your embouchure and sound.
By the end of the course, you won’t just understand what to do. 
You’ll have a set of tools you can come back to anytime, helping you keep improving your sound for years to come..

I look forward to working with you and helping you build your best sound.

- Martino

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this video course for

Beginner and intermediate saxophonists who want to build strong foundations for their sound and have poor technical knowledge of the embouchure.

How is this different from learning on YouTube?

This is a structured, step-by-step program that covers everything you need to know to develop a great embouchure and a beautiful sound.
It’s based on proven methods refined over decades of teaching experience and condensed into a practical, focused course.
No YouTube tutorial can offer the depth, structure, and personalised guidance you’ll find here.

What kind of results can I expect?

You’ll start playing in a much more natural way, moving from tension in your face to a relaxed, comfortable approach.
Your sound will start to transform, becoming richer as you let the reed vibrate more freely.
Low notes will feel easier, high notes will sound clearer, and your palm keys will open more smoothly.
And if you’re already working on overtones, you’ll likely notice improvement there too!

What level do I need to be

The course is suitable for all levels — from complete beginners to advanced players — and even for saxophone teachers looking to refine their technique.

Is there a money-back guarantee?
