Description
Many times my students will ask me how I can play so fast………..I always respond “Practice”. In this lesson I take you through some exercises that I have student work through who need to learn the chromatic scale. I take you through each step of the exercises and show you how to practice them from the very beginning and build up speed. I also include many tips on playing them with good technique as well as how to use the metronome with them. It is important to really get these fundamentals of a solid technique down so that later you will have fewer weaknesses in your playing. I talk about the best alternate fingering to use and give you some “Inside” tips on how to develop the best hand position and finger movement. I demonstrate everything on the tenor saxophone. This is Lesson 2 of a 2 part lesson on the chromatic scale. Enjoy! (Video)
