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.
Take the "A" Train:
-Ye Olde Stuffe-
