    This wonderful woman is speaking saxophone jazz gospel. Learn what she is saying here, put in the time and whether you play professional or for hobby you will be in love with your instrument and the liberty her lesson will give. Great jazz musicians had the liberty to improvise they way they did because this concept was burned into their brains. Excellent excellent lesson in the video. I applaud you.

    Definitely agree about the resistance to learning, not just in music. These days the only obvious objective of school is to learn enough to be able to fill out an application for some dead end job that won't require any further study.

    Btw - In A Mellow Tone and In The Mood are both in Ab concert. Plus the bridges on a lot of standards modulate to remote keys at times.

    Great advice. Just wondering if like the book “ Patterns for Jazz” by Jerry Coker?

    So, practically, do you ever play in C#, or always convert to Db? And do you ever think in Gb or just convert to F#, Cb or B?
    Or do you learn to think in both equivalent keys depending on the context?

    • @DonnaSchwartz

      It depends on the context, but it is important, especially on alto, to know the enharmonics because we are usually playing in lots of sharps...

    Would you recommend learning one key thoroughly before moving on to another, or working on all twelve keys simultaneously?

    • @DonnaSchwartz
      @DonnaSchwartz  6 лет назад +1

      I tend to do both....if it's patterns - all 12 keys. If it's a tune and I need to learn it in different keys, then I focus on 1 at a time

    Hi :) I have proposition :>
    could You make video/videos about Harmonic Major cdefg a-flat b
    and his modes?
    You could tell something about diatonic chords
    possibilities and limitations offered by this set of sound in improvisation
    a few exercises etc what You say?

    • @DonnaSchwartz
      @DonnaSchwartz  5 лет назад +1

      Material like that is best learned in a course or with a teacher to give you guidance

    iIf you jam with a rock band you'll be playing in tenor sax B and F sharp all night - perhaps the occasional D if you're lucky.

    • @DonnaSchwartz
      @DonnaSchwartz  6 лет назад

      Not necessarily - depends on the level of the jam. I play in pro jams and we are in all keys

    Played with too many guitar players, and every single one I've met likes to use those odd keys.

    • @DonnaSchwartz
      @DonnaSchwartz  2 года назад

      Because they want to use keys from the open strings (E A D G B)

    Trust a guitar player to want to play in E 😂
