2SAXY ONLINE WORKSHOP - Improv 2
IMPROV 2 - SUNDAY APR 26 (3-5PM ET)

Hi Friends,
Join us for Improv 2 as we improve the improv! Do you like how we did that?! :P
In this 2 hour online workshop we will build upon the techniques we taught you in Improv 1 and go deeper into each topic. You will learn proper technique including strong breath support, optimal embouchure, good tuning and clean articulation. You’ll also learn how to break up your rhythmic phrasing to create more interesting lines, write and play the ionian and mixolydian scales in any key, play a solo with a beginning, middle and end structure and more! There will be a live Q&A for each topic in the curriculum and we will spend time answering your questions regarding each topic!

CURRICULUM (Improv 2)
Technique is an important fundamental that needs to be continually strengthened to become a better saxophonist no matter what level you are! By the end of this segment you’ll learn how to play demonstrating proper technique, including strong breath support, optimal embouchure, and correct posture. You’ll learn how to play with control over your horn including correct tuning, clear and clean articulation and how to play within the groove. Lastly, you’ll learn the steps to begin to increase the speed of your lines.
Rhythm Part 2 (20 min)
In the segment we’ll build upon the teachings of improv 1 and dive in deeper. You’ll learn how to break up your rhythmic phrasing to create more interesting lines in your improv and how to play over the barline!
Chord Scales: Ionian and Mixolydian + Q&A (20 min)
This segment is a continuation of the concepts we learned in improv 1. This time we will isolate just the ionian and mixolydian scale and get to know them much more thoroughly. By the end of this segment you will be able to write and play the Ionian and mixolydian scale and learn their relationship to the I and IV chord.
Dynamic Solos Part 2 + Q&A (25 min)
We’re taking the segment a step further as we teach you our “storytelling” techniques. You’ll learn how to play a solo that demonstrates a beginning, middle and end structure and learn how to add your emotions into your improv. We’ll also teach you how to begin to use body language to enhance your storytelling technique!
