For anyone learning jazz saxophone, it’s a good idea to listen to the masters of the instrument at their best. Dissecting the work of a few of the greats like John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Stan Getz, and Cannonball Adderley will greatly help you understand the elusive art of improvisation and the importance of feel when it comes to selecting the perfect, most compelling notes to play.

jazz saxophone exercises

Good news: we've compiled all the weekly tip lessons that Eric has been teaching in his welcome videos into new sections in the Learning Channel!

There are 2 new sections to check out: "Exercise of the Week Archive" and "Lick of the Week Archive" where you can find all the previous lessons by title with their accompanying PDFs and backing tracks. You can also submit videos to Eric from there, so anyone working on any of these licks or exercises can now submit their versions for feedback from right from the page.

We'll continue to add to these sections as Eric posts new lessons and these will also serve as a searchable archive. The video message archive will still remain as is and contain all the same videos but only listed by date. Have fun practicing!
