Beginner Jazz Soloing for Saxophone & Clarinet


Book Description

Many woodwind players come from a classical background which may not have taught you how to play by ear. While this can provide an excellent grounding in music, it doesn't teach you how to improvise, and often it's difficult for classically trained musicians to learn Jazz soloing. Beginner Jazz Soloing For Saxophone & Clarinet is the perfect guide to bridge the gap. Devised by Buster Birch (visiting jazz professor at Trinity Conservatoire), this book teaches a creative method for improvisation that's been road-tested at hundreds of workshops.

Clarinet and Saxophone Experience


Book Description

This book brings together the many aspects involved in full and accurate control of the instruments. It gives the reader all the information and explanations which enable instrumental failings to be understood and remedied. It is hoped that they will offer a new approach to eliminating playing hazards encountered by musically proficient players as well as by the less experienced. The basic relationship between the sound-producing unit and other instrument parts is commonly given insufficient consideration. Important dimensions therefore are reviewed for matching parts to each other and to the notes of the instruments. Fine tuning, specific keywork positions for personal needs and other essential adjustments are dealt with and illustrated. The adjustments quoted enable players to appreciate what degree of improvement these might give to their instrumental ability, whether choosing to direct an instrument adjuster or to undertake adjustments themselves. The respective chapters include tables and examples of alternative and extended-range fingerings, transposition and playing effects, which all facilitate performance of the highest standard. -- Preface.
