CHAM'S SAXOPHONE LESSONS

March 9, 2025

Assignment for your next lesson:

Be sure to use your jazz/subtone embouchure - thinking of opening your jaw and letting your lips hold the air in.

Assignments for your next lesson

- Listen a lot to Kenny Garrett's tune, Happy People and figure out as much of that as you can

- We'll get started with Take the "A" Train at the next lesson: learn the head - MEMORIZE  IT - and play it like the performer on one of the recordings (i.e. don't just play it like it's written on the page; play it like one of the masters does)

Listen to these a lot!
Exercises-
 

Continue practicing these sheets - use them for correct articulation and a subtone embouchure:

Check out this link to Basic Jazz Harmony at the piano - we've already done all of this together. With your knowledge of the keyboard, these sheets are really just in case you find yourself confused about something.

TUNES-

Take as much of Kenny Garrett's tune Happy People as you can; you can write down what you figure out if you want to.

-Ye Olde Stuffe-
