Other Comments Students often ask the following questions, “How do I become a more proficient improviser” or “How do I improve my ability to solo effectively over a tune”, which are very sound questions to ask as a student of jazz. The answer is not simple and different teachers have many approaches to these questions. I believe there are four aspects to creating an effective solo: sound, sense of time, hearing the changes, and the musical ideas themselves. My primary goal as a teacher is to improve these aspects of a students playing, through intensive ear training and a thorough technical development over their instrument. I strive for my students to have equal proficiency over their instrument and ear.

Russ offers both saxophone and jazz improvisation lessons. If you are interested in studying with Russ Wilcox please email [email protected]. Lessons are offered both in person on Cape Cod and via skype.
