Standard of Excellence Book 3 - Alto Sax Lesson (Page 25)

Ready to level up your alto saxophone skills? Join Reesa as we dive into Standard of Excellence Book 3, Page 25!

This week on Musicians Addition, we’re tackling the demanding dynamics of the Romantic Period piece, Exercise 91, and building on our technical foundation with D minor scales (natural, harmonic, melodic, and arpeggios) in Exercise 92. The lesson also covers the tricky rhythms in Technique Break 93 and the essential skill of playing in cut time with Hungarian Dance in Go For Excellence 94. We’ll be focusing heavily on achieving consistent tone during soft dynamics (pianissimo) and understanding how to switch our thought process for cut time to speed up your learning!
