embouchure

		
I had an embouchure problem due to the fact that I was playing in 5* hotel business where people wanted music but wanted to talk and thus I had to play for 13 years 5 to 6 times a week a sort of soft music... and now back to France when I had to replay with bands, I got quickly tired and my bottom lip went sore and even sometimes bleeding, I bought Steve's lesson on "Mature Embouchure" and after a week of constant practicing I still had a problem, not on embouchure and pain but on tongueing, I decided to have a skype lesson with Steve....I should tell that this was an excellent thing to do, .Steve is a patient and interesting guy, and he listens and sees what's wrong with me and he notices that my embouchure was alright but we came to an agreement after a few questions that I had a bad tonguenin habit coming from , I think, my flute playing, now I simply have to be conscious of that problem and work on it....thanks Steve that was an unbelievable experience,

Thanks for the great advice!

		
Steve
Thanks for the great advice and putting me at my ease.  I put the lesson material into my practice schedule right away.
I have the Rich Perry Album and he is a wonder.  I think I saw him some years ago with Maria Schnieder at Monterey.  I will be listening to more and I will bookanother lesson down the road after having worked on your new ideas.  
Thanks again
Terry

Review

		
I would highly recommend taking a skype lesson with Steve . If you are thining about it and have reservations that perhaps it won't be as personal as a one on one lesson then let me reassure you that the benefits much outway anything else .
I have most if not al of Steve's books and we went over this material with the author himself . Steve actually came up with additional material , personailised to my requirements . 
We had a huge time difference so it was let for him and early for me but was absolutely worth it . I'm studying with one of the USA's top jazz educators who himself learned from a generation of masters . It can't get much more first hand than that , and as such these lessons are priceless. 
Speaking of which i am well overdue a cyber hook up - time for more shed material Steve , thanks.

Top Notch!

		
I bought Steve's V7 book and took a couple of online lesson from him. I   really appreciated Steve's careful listening of what I wanted to get   done in a lesson and his clear, concise ideas on next steps to improve   my playing and musical interpretation. His mastering  the Dominant Bebop   Scale has lots of exercises to use a scale that addresses the largest   percentage of chords I come across in pop/blues music. The dominant V7.   Needless say it has improved my playing. I teach and also have  recorded  lots of on line lessons and Steve's explaining style and  demonstrating  ability is top notch. I wish he was close enough for  direct lessons. I  plan to use him in the future. Thanks Steve

		

											

	

				

	

		
Skype Lessons with Steve

		
I have been taking Skype lessons from Steve for about a year now. I have been using a combination of recorded Neff Music lessons and the private lessons with Steve. Steve is always on-time for the lessons and an absolute professional.  Steve began my Skype lessons by accessing my capabilities and then formulating a lesson plan and course of study. Steve even uses a tuner with Skype to make sure I'm playing in tune!  Steve is very patient and wonderful at explaining and demonstrating lesson material.  I have been very happy with Steve's lessons and recommend him to any sax player that wants to improve their theory knowledge and technique. His lessons on jazz improv would work well for any instrument.  I only wish I could of learned about Steve many years ago!


P.S. The following notes are lessons learned when I decided to use Skype for sax lessons.  I initially tried to take a Skype lesson with Steve using a Logitech webcam with a built in microphone. During the lesson Steve asked me to play and we quickly found out that my sax was over driving the microphone. This microphone did not have a way to decrease the volume so I had to purchase another microphone. I purchased a USB Samson G Track mic and it has worked well for the Skype lessons. I have also purched a Skype add-on for about $25 that allows me to record the audio of the lesson with Steve.
