SKILLSExtra information like:- triad-combinations or triad-pair studies as written by Walter Biscchopf and in combination - More complex studies of chord structures as e.g developed by Tristano- school and Jimmy Halperin (c-g-e, continue in all keys and all major

and minor scales)- Intervallistic concept as developed by David Liebman in his book Chromaticism or Jerry Bergonzi or Eddie Harris.- Coloring: exercises with two keys at the same time.

PRESENTATION- At least two different studies based on solutions to technical and musical problems and at the same time keeping their own language.- 1 transcription more complex in rhythm, chord structure and velocity- 1 or 2 studies or compositions by student himself or classical/cross-over composition (Phil Woods for sax and piano, Piazzola for sax and piano

to name a few) with accompany of at least piano/bass/guitar. If two studies, one of them can also be a duet for 2 saxophones (Bach,

Lacour, Hindemith or own material).

NOTE: Part of this program may overlap the program of the Head saxophone teachers.In most cases this seems to be a very necessary step in the development of a given student.A student shoul be able to deal with different views and ways of coaching, therefore we - the staff of saxophone teachers - see this overlap as an important aspect in the development of the student himself.

MOTOR SKILLS- non-diatonic scales- velocity studies- circular breathing- multiphonics, other effects- doubling on flute, clarinet

Studies are to be discussed between teacher and student:- what is needed most, wich skill is not developed enough. Evaluation will be made at the beginning of the year and according to the musical parameters as given in first year a program will be made.

HARMONIC SKILLS- reharmonisation- modal harmony

RHYTHMIC SKILLS- odd meters- More complex cross-rhythms (study 5 over 3 in standards and work out in own studies) or following the rhythm concept of Jerry Bergonzi (22 rhythmical figures and replacing them)

READING/WRITING- compose on the piano- compose from the saxophone


TRANSCRIPTION- solos in styles foreign to the student

imitation of sound, timing and nuance

GENERALMany topics remain constant (repertoire, playing by ear, transcription). The sequens of topics might be altered in accordance with the personal strengths and weaknesses of the student.
