Playing Tunes on Saxophone

This tutorial highlights the critical need for musicians to move beyond practicing only the technical aspects of their instruments to include learning tunes by memory as a standard part of their practice goals.

Demonstrated here on the Tenor Saxophone two jazz standards from the famous composers Duke Ellington and Sonny Rollins are used to highlight the benefits of committing melodies to memories. That way the focus when performing as a soloist can be on entertaining your audience rather than hiding behind a music stand.
