Summary of This Method
Designed to meet the expectations of today's saxophonist, this method offers a comprehensive approach that places classical interpretation and jazz fundamentals on equal footing. The goal: to build solid technique while developing true musical freedom. The course is organized into 20 lessons, designed to guide the student step by step, with steady and motivating progress.
Each lesson is divided into two complementary sections, "classical" and "jazz," clearly presented over two pages. You work on tone, attack, intonation, and breath control, while consolidating velocity and scales. Simple and effective theoretical reminders reinforce learning: a real advantage for understanding what you play and gaining autonomy, whether in lessons or self-taught.
The classical side is based on short pieces inspired by "great airs" (Vivaldi, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Bizet, Verdi, Debussy). Ideal for refining phrasing, articulation, and musicality, while developing a repertoire culture. In parallel, jazz initiation is done through original pieces and standards in various styles (Blues, Funk, Bossa Nova, Swing), chosen to gradually introduce groove, listening, and the first improvisation reflexes: motifs, rhythmic variations, understanding chord progressions.
To make practice more lively, the recordings are performed by a professional trio (keyboards, double bass, drums). These polished accompaniments transform each session into a true playing situation, promoting regularity, rhythmic placement, and confidence. An ideal method for building your sound, strengthening your technique, and exploring the jazz language, while maintaining solid classical foundations.
