Improvisation is encouraged from an early stage, given direction through the systematic study of scales and arpeggios and advice on ear-training and chord patterns. With additional information on practical matters such as choosing reeds and earing for the instrument, as well as supplementary suggestions for listening and reading, 'The Jazz Method for Saxophone' is ideally suited both to students working alone and those learning with a teacher. / Méthode / Recueil / Saxophone
