music is my life.
this is something i learnt in vjc.
list of must learn pieces for saxophonesaltosanimation medley - soprano sax solo
i need to be in love
symphonic overture, the emo part
first love - addicted to you
jap graf XI
scootin' - the crazy part
flight of the bumblebee
tenorsbasically the same thing as altos plus:
ballad for tenor sax (this can get boring, but trains tone)
carnival of venice (transposed from euphonium)
psatha's jazz concerto (it sounds like shit, but technique-wise its damn imba)
frame for the blues
bariscootin' - i no need tell you which part
passion of the christ - if you can master just the 1st movement i call you pro
carnival of venice
third symphony? just for novelty's sake haha
basically all saxes should learn carnival of venice and flight of bumblebee.
tenor can play the alto pieces, but it just doesnt make sense for bari to play alto pieces. its too low haahah.
tenors have an advantage because if tenors play alto pieces on the original key, they have a chance to go altissimo range. makes you practice altissimo. if not just play according to alto score in the tenor. different key, but still will do.
for bari, just the carnival of venice makes you imba. youre required to triple tongue. single tongue for carnival also can, it trains the speed of your tongueing. imagine tongueing staccatos on triplets at 180bpm. there's a bari solo in passion of christ that allows the bari to go up to high F#.
go youtube to check the pieces bah. i think all should have, especially for alto. the alto pieces are like damn common.
hahaha flutes&oboe blog is up. now all woodwinds have a blog! isnt that cool or what.
i got work later today zzz.
