I played clarinet in high school about 38 years ago and I wish I had a saxophone but cant afford it. Now I just pick up a tenor and an alto to get back to music playing so I subscribe to your channel and I think your tutorial is the top best and direct to the point approach. I wish we had youtube back in the days 😅

Brilliant! Thanks Scott! Really appreciate your content. Learned so much. The way you break things down into steps is super helpful.

Revolutionary, I’ve played sax for 3 decades, and never heard these concepts.

@saxman14214 8 ай бұрын

Not revolutionary at all! People have been analyzing music with key numbers forever

Sustituting numbers for the notes and chords is called the Nashville System. It was developed by the studio musicians there.

Great lesson Scott- thanks! The small sections really are everything - I tired half a song at a time but now- for the really harder songs that makes sense.

Thanks Scott - this is a great! I've been struggling with memorizing songs and really like this method. I've been working on Polka Dots and Moonbeams in several keys and this will be very helpful. ❤🎷

Yeah, it's a game changer! It can be a little tough in the beginning to think in scale degrees, but after just a little practice, it will make it so much easier.

Thanks Scott! Appreciate the content and great instruction. Just started the Intermediate Pathway in the school.

Hey Luke! Have fun with the Intermediate Pathway Course - that's going to get your fingers moving fast and clean and help you to really personalize the music that you play.

This is great content. You should also market your sax school to other instruments. I’m sure a lot of people on trumpet & trombone are hesitant due to the transposition and clef change. As a trombone and tuba player I’ve learned a lot from your channel that has helped me arrange songs for my jazz ensemble and improve.

Hey Kerry, thanks for the message! I have thought about doing some individual courses geared toward any instrument, but the Sax School it is 100% geared towards sax players. However, I have had a few trumpet players sign up and follow the tenor lessons.

I have ever though about making music play along backing tracks?

@vojtechpilar5809 8 ай бұрын

Hi, interesting concept! I play the trombone and I always memorize the slide positions. Coincidentally, there are 7 slide positions but of course they don't match the positions of notes within scales. I'm so used to it now that trying to memorize it your way makes it really hard. It's like transposing to a different key. Is there a good benefit in learning it your way apart from knowing scales and notes within them by heart?

@joedooley2393 8 ай бұрын

Scott, you bring a good point. When I practice my scales should I think of then notes as scale degree or as note names? In other words should go 123567 or cdefgab?

@ScottPaddock 8 ай бұрын

For major scales, it's always the same scale degrees. So a great way to really lock that in is to play a 1 3 5 chord outline at the end of the scale. To memorize scales, you want to think in key signatures. C major is C to C with all naturals G major is G to G with an F# D major is D to D with an F# & C# So on and so forth. So you don't need to think about the natural notes, just the ones changed by the key signature.

How would this work if for example the key of a song was in C, you could have low C, middle C and octave C, all would be 1 (root) ?

@ScottPaddock 8 ай бұрын

Yeah, they would all be 1. When you are memorizing a song (or music) it's pretty easy to recognize the difference between the octaves.

So good, André so practice for trans...

@Samo1er 8 ай бұрын

GOOD but i think its more for transcribe easely in all keys than for memorize

@ScottPaddock 8 ай бұрын

It works great for both. It's way easier to remember the scale degrees than the actual note name. Especially if you memorize a lot of songs. Scale degrees have a correlation, where note names just tell you the fingering and sound of that one specific note.
