The series GERNOT DECHERT SAX WORKOUTS
is aimed to all saxophonists who want to deepen, refresh or re-develop the basics of music playing – scales, rhythm, timing, sound and melody. The first volume SAX WORKOUT No. 1 is dedicated to the most important scales! With the help of accompaniment pieces (playalongs), different tempos and the gentle addition of further scales, a fast understanding of keys and the ability to retrieve them in the form of patterns and self-developed ideas quickly develops.
When playing as a saxophonist in a band, you are often faced with the task of playing a solo or improvising. The same applies to instrumental lessons or workshops. While the workshop leader here quickly tries to bring refined combinations of sounds, jazz, funk, soul or blues phrases, special jazz scales or even harmonic extensions, the workshop participants are often already fully occupied with it, a single key or playing the scale safely. An improvised solo, however, can only arise if you no longer have to think about the underlying scales - just these Basic Scales, so the basis of any music, in this Sax Workout intensively, but with a lot of fun and easily understandable way.
