Saxophone workshop | jazz and pop improvisation for advanced students
This workshop is aimed at saxophonists who have already found a basic introduction to improvisation, e.g. via the blues scale. We want to build on this and extend our knowledge to songs with other harmonic characteristics and song forms.
Depending on the participants' level of knowledge, the following topics will be covered in depth:
- Analysis/perception of musical formsMelodic concepts for different types of songs
- Basic understanding of major/minor harmony and the II-V-I cadence
- Understanding the concept of 'mode'
- Instrumental knowledge for stylistic improvisation (vibrato, ghost notes, subtone etc.)
Prerequisites
Participation in the saxophone workshop for beginners or basic mastery of the instrument and knowledge of musical notation, time signatures, major/minor.
