Jazz inprov etc
Hi, i started playing the alto sax about 2 months ago, i already play the flute, piano and guitar, so reading music isnt a prob, and the fingering is about the same as the flute, so i've picked it up quite quickly, but im quite interested in jazz and swing, but i'm really rubbish at improv! Seriously, its awful, anyone got any tips how i could teach myself?
Oh yea, and i've only ever been taught to play sheet music, so ive no idea how to even start playing by ear or even trying to remember pieces i've got the music to so i can play it off by heart. Is there anyone who can help?
I dont like only being able to play from sheet music, it limits what i can play, does anyone else agree with me on that? Oh yea, and while im at it, i might as well say, this whole thing about getting grade 5 theory before taking a grade 6 practical music exam really is rubbish! Anyone agree???
