Saxophone Etude 1 is now on YouTube
Executive Summary
Etude 1 is a comprehensive exercise designed to help saxophonists master various arpeggios. It focuses on improving foundational skills to build expressive playing, great technique, enhanced tone, and a high degree of confidence.
Supporting practice materials, including backing tracks at 50%, 75%, and 100% tempos, are in development for YouTube. These tracks support the creator's recommended practice method: mastering the etude at 50% tempo before progressing to 75% and 100%.
Produced by Djere Services Group and released on April 5, 2023, this etude is in the saxophone key of G major (concert Bb major) and was inspired by Angela Bofill. It is published in the "Saxophone Mastery: 500 Dynamic Daily Etudes" series, available on Amazon. The complete set of 500 backing tracks for Volume 1 is also planned for a Patreon release.
