    I admire the rich sound a la 'Trane on alto.

    Amazing sound and great sax just bought one off craigslist what is the best way to learn improvisation without lessons

    • @StantawnKendrick
      @StantawnKendrick  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      WYATT- CSGO honestly the best advice I have for someone like you is the same thing someone told me. Learn from several records. When I was starting out I had no clue of where to start and I didn't have the money for private lessons. You do have several years and years of available music on albums though. Start with something melodic and not too technical. But I only recommend this after you have at least learned the basics of the instrument. Like getting sound out and basic scales of course

    • @StantawnKendrick
      @StantawnKendrick  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      WYATT- CSGO well there's nothing like starting from albums. Miles solo on So What is a good place to start. Yes it's trumpet... but it's very classic and very melodic and not not too technical

      +Stantawn Kendrick I know exactly what u mean about the tone. At a point in time, I didn't really listen to tenor much but I started listening to it and I went back to listening to alto again and it sounded weird but I'm a alto player but I like tenor more and that horn sounds amazing.

    • @StantawnKendrick
      @StantawnKendrick  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jeremy McCant
      Thanks so much man. I appreciate it. When I made this video... I realized I still enjoyed alto very much lol. I started on alto and I always still try to hear Bird and Cannonball in my tenor playing still. I think tenor though has this bottom to it. It just has a manly kind of lowness to it that I think resonates with me. Now though when I go back to alto... I kinda can still hear the low end of the horn when I play it like I hear on tenor. It's hard to explain. I try to blow toward the bottom of the alto as if it is a tenor. I think I naturally do it now because I play tenor so much it's what I hear lol. It's difficult to put in words. I think I'm going to write some tunes for alto though and spend some time with it. However, most of my time still has to go to tenor. LOL it just takes so much to keep that in shape! Thanks for listening bro and thanks for your comment.

    What is the best soprano sax you can get for the price that has a great sound . I was looking at the mark VI ab it cost around $960 used.

    • @StantawnKendrick
      @StantawnKendrick  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      hmmm that's a tough one. I know Selmer and Yamaha are very trusted brands when it comes to sopranos. They of course make them in varying experience levels which also go up in expense. Intermediate and advanced and professional models. You also could check eBay but I'd be careful of what you are buying and who you are buying it from when shopping there. Making sure they have a high rating.

  • @quefour9710
    @quefour9710 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    • @StantawnKendrick
      @StantawnKendrick  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey what's going on man. The best thing for you to do is to try out these pieces of course. I really can't comment on an opinion on reeds or those mouthpieces as I have never played those pieces you have or have heard you play them. Also when it comes to those sizes those are relatively close facings. You'd have to try them out to see if they are too close/small for you. I'm not sure what you have been playing on or how long you have been playing for that matter. Also you're going to have to try different brands/strengths of reeds too as well.
