Marcel Mule (1901-2001) is one of the greatest French saxophonists, renowned worldwide for his work on the classical saxophone repertoire. He was teaching his students how to obtain a good quality of sound and believed it was dependent on the embouchure, the emission, the mastery of vibrato and, thus, of breathing. He wrote methods that focus on technique, articulation and tone production, such as Dix-huit Exercices ou Études, Exercices Journaliers daprès Terschack and 30 Grands Exercices ou Études daprès Soussmann (in two books), among others.
