The Berklee Practice Method is available for many instruments, and each book is based on the same songs, in the same key, to facilitate jamming with other players.
Lessons throughout the book guide you through technique that is specific to playing the saxophone in a contemporary ensemble. You'll learn: melody and improvisation, phrasing, articulations, breathing, chords, scales, theory, comping, reading, interpreting lead sheets, and much more. Daily practice routines are designed for practicing by yourself, or with other musicians. The accompanying CD features outstanding Berklee players and covers a variety of styles, including rock, funk, jazz, blues, swing and bossa nova.
