Description

Improvise jazz on saxophone with a simple six-step method

This is not a how to play the saxophone book or a how to play the clarinet book. It’s a how to play music book!

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.

Professor approved jazz sax soloing

Don’t just take our word for it!

“This is a great resource, both for beginners and more advanced students (it’s always good to go backwards!) Buster arranges this in a way that introduces ideas logically and slowly, yet still allows for creativity and invention.”  – Liam Noble, Professor of Jazz Piano at Birmingham Conservatoire & Trinity College of Music

“An accessible and methodical introduction to the art of jazz improvisation. This book will be useful to students and teachers in developing the essential basic skills needed to improvise in a melodic and coherent way.” – Mick Foster,  Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Trinity Conservatoire of Music & Goldsmiths College
