Hiya, i’m sharing this video because it helps me read music easier playing the air and i can hear the notes in my head being to connect with my fingers. Lately trying lotsa whistling and humming. When i practice i try to hear or hum what i am about to play.
Some of the guys here have been talking about being directionally dxylesic. Ya thinkin’ thatz me too! So now i use coloured pencils on my staff. And print up big staffs to read easier, i put the notes in different colurs, RedOYGBVBlack
~ G i s red, C is yellow. Looking at the staff my landmark notes are always G and C, this is somethink i have read about prior and assists the other notes place around them in a sublime rainbow trek …
Ha anybody else had any joy in whistling? Can we hear about it, please?
Y’know the best whistlers surely make the best sax players! Ya?June 19, 2021 at 7:19 am #104876Anonymous
i only use highlighters on music sheets to remind me where to jump to next on repeat sections as i have a problem looking ahead when playing NEW unfamiliar music sheets to quickly find the right place on the music sheet where i should jump back or forward to.
My biggest problem with music sheets is the timing, not the reading the notes on the sheet. I’m trying out a what a music teacher online gets his student to do.
To help play in time with a backing track or metronome, just practice only playing the 1st note of each bar/measure in time with the metronome or backing track. The logic behind that being if you can hit each starting note in time this should improve your timing on the rest of the notes in each bar/measure.
June 19, 2021 at 7:24 am #104877Ya you’re miles ahead of me, James!! absolutely! This is where Hotel California is good for us inasmuch that the first singing or sax note of each vocal line rests on the first beat! 🙂
June 19, 2021 at 7:56 am #104881Highlighting times!! This is about my pace on reading ……
What do you call a rabbit working in a Hotel?
A bell-hop.Any further suggestions, thanking you?
🙂
June 19, 2021 at 8:14 am #104883Hi @Johnny would you be so kind as to gee up a similar gig as this with some of your songs for us?
Like, Jumpin’ Jack Flash, say? What do you think? cheers mate 🙂 Thanking you.June 19, 2021 at 11:19 am #104885ya that looks pretty helpful for some readers….I’ll look in to it.
June 19, 2021 at 10:15 pm #104896Good stuff. Whoop Whoop!! @Johnny Look here, bless your heart and cotton socks for your insight in this regard and your enabling, positive vision.
Ya.
It grows as it goes. Tasty!i confess to you i’ve been feeling a bit, well, now, not so much lost or overwhelmed but rather simply paralyzed (being with overload of to much varied convolutions of unhelpful, discordant musical information and resultant saxual lack of application), that is for some time now … ya, it’s a long way to the shop for a sausage roll (sings AC DC) and, further, to the Hotel California USA, say
You’re the best ~ a regular Dr Feelgood, spiffing hey what, jolly good show! You beaut, bandicoot.
Throw another shrimp on the barbie! Rockin’
You’re the source.
Trust your jaw droppin’ teachings shall help our fellow Members too ..
Thanking you very kindly, John.🙂
June 20, 2021 at 2:13 am #104897i can foresee the next generation of sax players will be playing in front of iPad screens instead of using traditional music sheets made out of paper.
I can also foresee the iPad screens will highlight and display when each note should be played – eliminating a lot timing issues for players.
In fact the few remaining players who still play in time using traditional paper music sheets will be regarded as Gods.
June 20, 2021 at 9:30 am #104904Mayhap the ant can lead the elephant. It is written, work is prayer.
ya what we need this day is a ear-revving gobsmackin’, a timely syncopating clap of hands; some heavenly creative visulization and a way to profoundly glue our fingers to our sax keys, hitherto our ears, whence our inner hearing and thus the musical score voicings we should share being made manifest in a dynamic timely paperwise fashion ..
thinkin’ John is gonna come up with somethink radiant in his Premium Membership soon enuff to tantalize and empower our rockin’ saxophonic adventure/s ya
From the Latin, it is a god that has given us this ease.🙂
June 20, 2021 at 11:12 am #104906I reached out the the guy from the video (MexSax) and he said that he didn’t make the music scrolling part but it is done within Band In a Box software. I don’t really want to get into that program but if anyone out there has it let me know if they’ve ever tried that with it.
