    Bob, once again, a home run! So glad to see you doing the repetition thing-i have to do that for retention more than getting the line together. For me, retaining a line I've read is always much harder that remembering one that I learned by ear. Also, mouthpieces...oy, gevalht. I have drawers full, mainly keep coming back to my old Florida 7*-but sometimes for me I find changing my mouthpiece provokes (elicits? stimulates?) new ideas. Thanks so much, Mr. Reynolds. Great stuff.

    @bobreynolds - I so enjoy your lessons and wisdom. Your way of explaining how you practice, and think about practice planning is very useful, and you bring it to us from the true human angle. Love how at the end you discuss how important it is to "get off the page." I hear many people claim they can't play by ear, or can't improvise, or can't play a note without it written in front of them. My response to that is, "Do you sing along to the radio in your car, or sing in the shower? Do you use sheet music to do that?" it generally makes the point. Thank you for your continued awesome leadership in music education. Cheers.

    So spot on, Bob. Get home from work, walk the dog, get in some practice. Want to develop new ideas. Now I’m working on triad pairs over blues changes. But I need to know the songs on my tune list for our band, too. It’s so difficult to maintain proficiency on what little I already know and still expand musically. Love your permission to transcribe piecemeal. I’m going to try it. Thanks for another shot of inspiration!

    Oh Bob, you hit the nail on the head for me. Getting off the page is something I am working on very hard right now….. of course amidst my classical gig which is all reading, and that’s my comfort zone. Anyway, I love this. You have said this before…maybe in the Studio, I don’t remember. But because of you, I started using the music at hand as the material for the day. But getting off the page is a whole other can of worms. Why is this soooooooooo difficult?? The good news is I just learned the (simple) Eddie Harris tune “Cold Duck Time” (head) from the recording. I was pretty pleased with myself., even though it is very basic. But I need to do easy so I can eventually do the more challenging stuff. I imagine myself someday being able to transcribe Chris Potter or Michael Brecker. This is the dream. So the struggle continues. That aside, I do find it helpful to see your learning process and to actually see you hammer on something and correct mistakes. Very inspirational and motivational. Sometimes we forget even Michael Brecker had a day when he first touched a tenor sax and had no idea what he was doing. 😂 Can you imagine? LOL

  • @nilesloughlin6845
    @nilesloughlin6845 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I do this practically every practice session. Since it’s still practice time whether I’m strictly focused on rudiments/pattern/fundamentals or on material to learn for a gig, I’ll usually use the written material (scales/patterns/etc in theory books or the performance material I’m learning) I’m working with as the basis for checking in on all of my expression/inflection/articulation/etc. This way I don’t have to rely on warm-ups if I’m short on time, I don’t have to get bogged down in technicals instead of working up ideas or other material, and I still get to apply my pedagogical knowledge while the theoretical or written musical material and navigation of my horns get integrated into my kinesthetic memory.
    Side note: my biggest grip over Classical music training is that it only tends to instruct performers in how to read musical material, while it often (practically always) neglects to instruct how to write (compose) or speak (improvise). What other language only teaches you how to listen and read??? At least Jazz tends to be holistic about applying all of the linguistic components of using a musical language, I began cross-training in Jazz and folkstyles like Irish Traditional because after my Classical degrees, I felt like I didn’t have an understanding of how to apply my theoretical music knowledge (or lack thereof) in practice beyond how to read and interpret sheets.

    Hi Bob, it is amazing to know a little bit more of your secrets, I’m a big fan of yours! I was wondering if you ever considered donating some of your old or unused instruments or equipment’s? Last year I applied to join the oldest band in my city (100 years old) and I was not able to join in because of lack of saxophones. I guess two mouthpieces could be converted in one student sax and inspire new saxophonists for decades to come… thanks for your time sharing your experience. Cheers!

    I thought you sounded beyond killin on the metal piece (a link maybe?). Only halfway into the video so apologies if you did show it, but that is the mouthpiece, 100%. It has the sizzle in your palm keys and roundness in the middle that I identify with your sound.
