SKILLS
Extra information like:
- triad-combinations or triad-pair studies as written by Walter Biscchopf
and in combination
- More complex studies of chord structures as e.g developed by Tristano-
school and Jimmy Halperin (c-g-e, continue in all keys and all major
and minor scales)
- Intervallistic concept as developed by David Liebman in his book
Chromaticism or Jerry Bergonzi or Eddie Harris.
- Coloring: exercises with two keys at the same time.
PRESENTATION
- At least two different studies based on solutions to technical and
musical problems and at the same time keeping their own language.
- 1 transcription more complex in rhythm, chord structure and velocity
- 1 or 2 studies or compositions by student himself or classical/cross-over
composition (Phil Woods for sax and piano, Piazzola for sax and piano
to name a few) with accompany of at least piano/bass/guitar. If two
studies, one of them can also be a duet for 2 saxophones (Bach,
Lacour, Hindemith or own material).
NOTE: Part of this program may overlap the program of the Head
saxophone teachers.
In most cases this seems to be a very necessary step in the development
of a given student.
A student shoul be able to deal with different views and ways of
coaching, therefore we - the staff of saxophone teachers - see this
overlap as an important aspect in the development of the student himself.
