Imagine someone who has worked as an international saxophonist, an educator, a technician, a consultant, and as a designer, and you can imagine Peter Ponzol. For the first time, Peter offers details from his famous Saxophone Workshops. Learn about: ' Maintenance ' Reeds ' Mouthpieces ' Ligatures ' Sound ' Flexibility This exciting and informational pocket book will be a much needed addition to your musical library! Convenient pocket-sized book - 3.5 x 5.5 - perfect to toss in your gig bag! 64 pages. Peter has been around saxophones for decades, doing it all from manufacturing horns to reeds to mouthpieces. As well, he is a seasoned player. What he discusses in this book is coming from one of the sources-read carefully! - David Liebman, Sax artist/ author/ clinician. Read this review from Sax On The Web: The information in this book is right up SOTW's alley, with answers regarding reeds, necks, mouthpieces, saxes, maintenance, and the like. I would assume that the number of redundant threads started could be reduced almost in half simply with a reading of this book and those owning it could refer back to it at their leisure, as needed. And there is enough info in this book which contradicts some of our SOTW urban legends to make an episode of MythBusters. If you catch the right posts at the right time, much of the info in this book is already posted here on SOTW. But you have to see it and if hunting for it, you have to find it. OTOH it's all conveniently gathered and organized here in this primer - plus more. There are suggestions such as replacing the neck cork once or twice a year, which I would, if posting a response, say is not necessary. But here's the difference. Many of us on the forum are experienced musicians but few have the experience and depth that Ponzol has. We can write with credibility - Ponzol writes with authority. And this is based on decades not only as a top-echelon player, but as a successful and innovative sax, neck and mpc designer. The book is a 61 page pocket reference booklet which, in addition to topics mentioned above, include thoughts on ligatures, sound and flexibility. It is based on items of interest asked by attendees at workshops he has given over the years, hence the title. He begins by pointing out that at these workshops one of the first things he does is look at the condition of attendees' equipment with the observation that at least 90% of them need some kind of work and adjustments. What follows in the book's 61 pages are recommendations generated by this observation. Included are interesting comments such as: aging store-bought reeds by letting them sit for several years is fairly useless since the aging process stops once the bark has been cut away from the reed; not earth-shattering but interesting and certainly myth debunking. Again something that fits right in with many of the conversations on this forum. Interesting thoughts follow regarding the future of natural cane reeds, or how to select and get the most from your reeds - things I wouldn't think of like sanding the heel of your reed. SOTWers might also get a kick out of, and relate to, the title of his section on mouthpieces, 'Now the Fun Begins'. There are also interesting side comments we don't often hear like: in the 70s so many young players like Ponzol were trying to get Trane's recorded sound by working on metal Links because that's what they saw in photos and yet, Trane often recorded with hard rubber mpcs because, in Trane's opinion, it didn't have as much spit in the sound for him. It's interesting how some things come around back to you. There are two exercises I recommend to my students and have recommended on the forum regarding volume and embouchure control and flexibility. I've never heard anyone else recommend these exercises and yet here they are in Peter's book. Then it hit me. The only other one I know who uses them is a former teacher of mine and I remembered that years ago he said he had had some lessons with Ponzol. So 'the circle is unbroken' LOL. I would highly recommend it for beginners and intermediates, as well as for more advanced players to recommend to their students. It has made me re-think even some of my most basic assumptions regarding equipment and maintenance, which has made the read well worth it. I wish every SOTW newbie would start out their Forum time with this booklet at their disposal.

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 !

This book is designed to help saxophonists develop fluency in the jazz language by providing mainstream jazz vocabulary (swing/bop/post-bop) that nails the changes and lays great on the horn. Think of Hip Licks for Saxophone Volume 2 as a musical reference book, like a dictionary of great licks in all twelve keys, available when you need it. You can open the book to any page and just start playing. Hip Licks for Saxophone Volume 2 is an indispensable resource that shows you how a professional player would deal with many of the complex chord progressions found in popular standards and jazz compositions.
