La pédagogie et l\'enseignement du saxophone ne cessent d\'évoluer dans un monde moderne, un monde en mouvement où les styles musicaux se croisent et se rejoignent. Après une spécialisation du saxophone de genre «classique» ou «jazz» au c?ur du xxe siècle, nous voilà plongés dans un métissage des esthétiques, sans frontière.
Cette méthode tend à illustrer que le saxophone ne peut dissocier classique (musique mélodique, savante, écrite) et jazz (musique improvisée) permettant ainsi au saxophoniste en herbe de libérer sa parole musicale grâce à son imagination et sa créativité.
Nous avons pris le soin de veiller à une progression précise et rapide des apprentissages, sans artifice technique et avons mis l\'accent sur l\'apport purement musical, que ce soit par de courtes pièces inspirées de « grands airs» de la musique classique, ou par des morceaux originaux ou des standards liés à la musique de jazz. Conjointement, une base théorique ainsi que des clés d\'écoute sont proposés pour faciliter la performance instrumentale.
Les 20 leçons de la méthode couvrent une année complète d\'apprentissage et s\'adressent à tous les âges et profils : élève d\'un conservatoire, d\'une école de musique, jeune ou adulte amateur, accompagné d\'un professeur ou en totale autonomie.
Vous avez en main le support idéal qui vous pe1mettra de découvrir ce magnifique instrument qu\'est le saxophone au travers d\'une grande diversité de répertoires et de styles ; alors ... amusez-vous bien !
Nicolas PROST
Il y a encore de cela quelques années, le jazz et l\'improvisation au saxophone s\'adressaient souvent à des élèves avancés. Mon expérience d\'enseignant m\'a montré qu\'en improvisant dès le début de son apprentissage, l\'élève développe un sens de l\'écoute, du rythme et de la créativité.
Dans cette méthode vous aurez des outils pour improviser dès les premières leçons !
Avec des indications simples, vous allez découvrir et vous initier au plaisir de jouer et d\'improviser. Cette «rampe de lancement» pour l\'improvisation pourra s\'accompagner par la suite, si vous en éprouvez l\'envie et le besoin, de notions plus poussées.
Grâce aux accompagnements enregistrés par un trio de grands musiciens, ayant l\'habitude de jouer ensemble cette musique, vous pourrez vous immerger au c?ur de cette formation, en étant dans votre propre quartet de jazz. Vous pourrez ainsi jouer à votre guise avec ou sans votre professeur.
Prenez autant de plaisir que nous en avons eu pour concevoir cette méthode, et maintenant : Go !

Par O'NEILL JOHN. These methods provide complete courses for players off all ages, guiding students from their first note to 'classics', together with compositions by contemporary writers. Each book is accompanied by high quality rhythm section tracks recorded on compact disc. Right from the start, students can enjoy authentic jazz sounds, playing in the company of professionals. With step-by-step instruction and a progression of specially written pieces, the fundamental elements of good technique are introduced alongside the rhythmic subtleties of jazz. Improvisation is encouraged from an early stage and is given direction through the systematic study of scales and arpeggios and advice on ear-training and chord patterns. With supplementary suggestions for listening and reading, and an Appendix containing all the chord progressions for 'live' accompaniment of the tunes, 'The Jazz Methods' are ideally suited to both students working alone and those learning with a teacher. 'John O'Neill has a solid understanding of jazz and how it can be taught. I highly recommend his educational jazz materials.' (Jamey Aebersold) '...a rare opportunity for a new player (or a more experienced one) to develop a really musical facility. A rare addition to the jazz improvising library.' (Lee Konitz, international jazz saxophone soloist) The Saxophone is, for many, the instrument of jazz and there is an enormous and exciting repertoire waiting to be explored by newcomers to the instrument. 'The Jazz Method for Saxophone' will guide beginners of all ages from producing their first note on the saxophone to the performance of full-blown jazz pieces, including 'classics' by Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins and Horace Silver, as well as contributions from leading contemporary jazz players and composers. Backing for all the music-specially recorded for this method is provided on the accompanying CD so that, right from the start, student saxophonists can enjoy an authentic jazz sound, playing in the company of a top-class rhythm section (bass, guitar, drums) used later to support first attempts at improvisation. With step by step instruction and a progression of specially written pieces, the fundamental elements of good saxophone technique-breath control, tone-production, embouchure, tonguing and fingerings-are introduced alongside the rhythmic subtleties of jazz (for example, 'swung' and syncopated rhythms). 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
