Description

There is nothing cooler than having your approach notes mastered!  Back about 10 years ago, I had decided that I really needed to get my act together and start practicing again.  I decided to pick one main focus and to practice like crazy.  The area of jazz improvisation I picked was Approach Note patterns.   I wrote out every conceivable approach note pattern I could think of in the key  of C and started practicing.  Soon I found myself totally freed up and liberated from playing my old cliche lines and patterns.  I was playing new lines and ideas and my technique was better than ever……..

Out of that experience came my “Approach Note Velocity” books.  As I started giving online video lessons, I started receiving requests to do some lessons on this approach note concept.   This is a new series that I’m starting to teach how to work through the “Approach Note Velocity” material.  In this series I will take you step by step through the process in each lesson.   I have found that many students enjoy how the approach note concept sounds but when it comes to applying it to their playing it can be difficult.  This  will be a step by step lesson series where I walk you through the process of how to learn and integrate these concept into your own playing.  In order to get the most out of this series you will need the “Approach Note Velocity” books, Jamey Aebersold Vol. 24 “Major and Minor”and  Jamey Aebersold Vol. 21 “Getting it Together”.

In this series, I have 13 30-45 minute long lessons teaching you how to best work with the approach note concept.  The series is ongoing but these 13 lessons will give you a great start with tips on how to work on the materials in the books.

In order to get the most out of these lessons you should  already have a good grasp of your scales and chord tones in all keys and have my “Approach Note Velocity Volume 1 & 2 books.  If you master the material within these lessons and books, you will find a freedom and dexterity throughout all 12 keys that you never had before.  (13 30-45 Minute Video Lessons)

Hey Steve, I’m a 22-year-old from Australia. I thought it would be worth saying. You’re an absolute legend. I can’t thank you enough. You have helped me rekindle my love for the saxophone and music as a whole. All the best for the future, your work doesn’t go unnoticed. PS. I am loving your devastating minor lines pdf.

After reading your story I will never feel quite right about complaining about any of my MINOR health issues!!    God bless Steve and I really hope that your health doesn’t stop you from fulfilling your calling.    These books have been such a help to open up my jazz vocabulary…   Thanks so much for sharing your story and for providing these great teaching tools…   John Leclerc   Saxophonist / composer/ EWI player and professional working musician of 35 years….

Just wanted to send you a quick note to say thank you for being you, your playing, your website and your desire to help others. I’m a professional musician in the US Army and I’ve visited your website almost every day since discovering it a couple of months ago. Your lessons are profound and easy to use. I’ve purchased most of your PDF books and now am starting to delve more into the video and audio lessons.  Thank you for being a great resource!

I want to thank you again, because, not only are you an inspiration to listen to, you are a fine teacher!

I have been teaching sax and other winds for over 20 years, and you give me that “push” to give my students more!

I would like to say that in the last year my sax playing has progressed loads from your lessons. I have had a sax for about 20 years and dabbled with lessons from a few teachers and have learnt very little from them. As you have said in your lessons many teachers tell you to use the blues scale and leave it there, not even showing you the resolution points!!. I am now believing I can in time become a good improviser.
Thanks again,
Shane

I have been a member of Neffmusic for more than a year now and have enjoyed every minute of it! I have not only been going thru the Dominant Bebop Scale lessons and book (OUTSTANDING!) but the mouthpiece reviews, solo clips and transcriptions are very interesting. Steve approach to beginning and intermediate improv have given me many new pathways to teach my high school jazz ensemble students. Congratulations Steve, great product!

Steve,  Just want to say thanks for all you are doing for all of us. I’ve learned more from you than anyone else in my 40 years of playing.

If you can give some tips on One Note Samba, Ceora, and Wave… that would be cool.  I really like learning how you apply your concepts to actual songs!

Have a great year,

Kevin Ledbetter

I bought Steve’s dominant bebop 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 a… Read more

I am enjoying your style of teaching, and you’ve done a great job with the videos….good sound quality and well constructed lessons.  Balances the more guitaristic material found on the majority of guitar based programs.  Jazz vocab is what I’m all about at this point in the journey.  I especially dig the fact that you’ve studied with Bergonzi…helps me see his voluminous output in a more bite sized way.
