“Jazz Reading and Feel Lesson” is a beginner series on learning to play jazz with the proper articulation and feel. This series of lessons will teach you the fundamentals of playing with a correct jazz feel so that you will be well grounded and can move on to harder material later.<\/p>\n
These video lesson are based off of the Lennie Niehaus book “Basic Jazz Conception for Saxophone Vol. 1”. This is the first jazz book I use with my beginner students who have finished “Essential Elements” Book 1. They know the notes, fingerings, and basic elementary rhythms…….so it’s time to get them swinging. I have been using this book as a teaching resource for the last 15 years and it is excellent for 2nd year beginner students.<\/p>\n
The book has simple melodic etudes and exercises that are written out with all the proper jazz articulation. This is a great benefit for beginner jazz players as they can see the articulation markings and learn to play with a proper jazz style. The benefit of these video lessons is that I play through the different exercises and etudes so that you can hear many of them played live. I teach you on the video just like I would teach any student that is in my studio. Every mistake and piece of advice that I have given to hundreds of students over the last 15 years is included within these videos. Lesson 1-4 deals with a number of exercises in the book.<\/p>\n
I demonstrate all the exercises and teaching points with the alto saxophone. You will need the book “Basic Jazz Conception for Saxophone” Vol. 1 by Lennie Niehaus to get the most out of these lessons and to be able to practice the material. These lessons will teach you the fundamentals of playing with a jazz feel. Have Fun!! (4 30+ Minute Video Lessons)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
