    One long note over 4 bars (the fourth) and a couple of simple riffs, leave plenty of space. LESS IS MORE! Job done.

    I'm only 4 days in but your videos have made me progress incredibly fast. Learned how to read music in about 2 days (or 6 hours of practice and memorization). You mentioned you wanted to get people to dance - I was just honking out of the horn but even I was dancing as I was playing... however horrendous my neighbors might think I sound. This is a blast.

    👍I love this!! Especially the way you broke it down to simple basics. I'm a female sax player, (originally classically trained) who never could really improvise on soloing. Thanks to you, now I can!! This is great because:
    1). I'm now playing blues, jazz and funk. And..
    2). I'm the ONLY girl musician in these bands. Now I can really get creative and hold my own with the "fellows". Please keep these videos coming!

    I've wanted to play sax ever since I was 18 or so... Oh geez, my influences are John Coltrane, Candy Dulfer, Stan Getz ,Richard Elliot, Dave Koz, Jeff Kashiwa, Nelson Rangell... The list goes on and on.
    I'm now 52 and I picked up a saxophone at my friend's pawn shop. I figured, why not? So, here I am....

    • @McGillMusicSaxSchool
      @McGillMusicSaxSchool  2 года назад +1

    Amazing! It is so much fun! It helps adult beginner players to boost their self esteem (speaking of myself) and it helps kids who are about to quit because they are so bored doing scales. All of the sudden the kid realized that he is capable of playing "real stuff"
