Hey guys,
Im in my final year at school (Year 12) and am thinking of a career in music (playing, teaching etc).
Planning to do classical piano degree, along with jazz saxophone as my other instrument. Heres the situation, I only started learning saxophone about 2 1/2 years ago, I picked it up as a secondary instrument but now Im playing in all the jazz/concert bands at school.
I have jazz experience in a Big band (Lead Alto) but really want to learn how to improvise well. I am fine with most blues and minor improvisation but want to know how to really develop my ideas and playing to the next level. I currently play my cycle of fourths all around the scale, play long tones etc but dont have much rep to work with.
Any ideas sorry about the ocnfusing post!
