In this video, Scott demonstrates 4 simple embellishments that you can use to improve any melody. By adding these simple ornaments to a melody (and solo lines) it gives it more motion and expression. The four embellishments are: grace notes, scoops, turns and falls.

Best lesson I’ve ever seen. Very good. Just what we beginners need. Rhanks
1. Grace notes (one below)
2. Scoops ("doit")
3. Turn (S around the note)
4. Falls
Superbly clear teacher! Quick and clear explanation without unrelated babble :)
I try to get to the point! 😁😁
🙏You are great teacher Scott🙏
Scott, the 4 embellishments are great. I love especially the turn and the "fall".
And You are "excelentissimo" as an instructor, teacher and coach.
Lohvissimo!
Thanks!!!
Thanks a great help
Awesome lesson! straight to the point, thanks!!
Thanks your one of the best instructors!
Awesome video, this is very helpful and I will begin to use these concepts (and the ones from your adlibbing video too) into my practice starting today. Thank you Thank you Thank you!
Awesome Scott
Scott - You're videos are excellent. You are able to get across some useful ideas and techniques very easily by explaining them clearly and then showing how it's done, drawing on your obviously vast musical knowledge and experience of playing this wonderful instrument - the saxophone. Your graphics are also brilliant in reinforcing the learning. I learned the sax when I was sixteen at school and have picked it up again many years later at the grand age of 68. They say you can't teach an old dog news tricks but you have proved this wrong. You're teaching style is enthusiastic and informative and gives one great motivation to have a go and improve. I will watch all of your videos - they are infectious. Keep them coming. Thank you.
Thanks Robert!!
Thanks for that ! Very helpful
Thanks, Scott! I need to listen to so much more; my knowledge of tunes is so embedded from rock and prog jazz from 1970s it limits my imagination.
Thanks, master!!! 😀

Amazing man, just loads of cool stuff
Thanks Gary!!
Your sound on the alto is awesome! Congrats!
Thank you!
excellent Scott
Thanks Nina!
Thanks Scott, useful lesson combining tricks. I encourage all followers watching your summer time live vdo, your band is fantastic....and we can try to copy your style ;-).
Hey Patrick what's with the word "Tricks?" It seems these days whenever someone is talking about a "technique" they use the word trick instead. I feel like it's a marketing conclusion that people are more responsive to a trick as it implies it doesn't take any work you just open the can and this trick pops out, no work necessary.
thnks for the great lesson!!
👍👍👍
Great!
Thanks Pedro!
Thank you for this! You cut to the chase with this video! In just 11 minutes, you gave me the tools to transform my playing. Going from classical music to trying jazz, this is earth-shattering!!! I subscribed and will watch again!
Awesome!!! I need to do a series of videos for classical players who want to improvise. I've converted lots and lots of them over the years!
@@ScottPaddock I look forward to those! Sign me up!
I'm about a year in on an alto - i've an awesome teacher every week - i come to you to fill in some gaps - great grace notes
😁😁😁
Hey Scott I've been playing a while and do all of this stuff, and to your point, have to be aware not to overdo it (I was in fact thinking that very thing earlier today). But I must say, you sound fantastic. You have great technique, and your tone puts you in the world-class category. There are some players you can recognize quickly and you are becoming one of those guys for me. The sound is drawing me in, so I'm about to search for a live setting and really hope you have something posted....and I subbed...
Thanks!!!
Very Goodall lesson!!! T hanks a lot.
👍👍
great,. Please share the Fall video. thanls
Nice Lesson here
👍👍
Really excellent video. Lots of illustration on the points you make. You need to do a video where you play some simple phrases for us to copy and learn by ear. Maybe do 20 starting with simple three note phrases working up in complexity.
Great teacher!
Thanks Peter! Sounds like a good idea.
Fantastic tutorial. My what a difference the embellishments make
When I played summertime on tenor sax it sounds quite flat.
Something I can work on to improve the sound.
Many Thanks.
Hey! Yeah, those embellishments really bring thing song together. Later this week, I'm doing a video on embouchure. That might be the fix you need to get a bigger less flat sounding tone.
Thanks Scott , those tricks are the "Alleluya" and "Wows " playing the sax.
Thanks!!! Glad you liked them :-)
very helpful sir thank you
I'm the first to comment... Yeeey...
Love your videos Scott...
Thanks!!
Thanks Scott for teaching the language of the sax. This will take some practice but practice I shall. How much are your Skype sessions?
Hey Jason, glad you're enjoying. Send me a message from my website www.scottpaddock.com for more info about Skype lessons. Thanks!
Awesome you are a natural sax teacher good work Scott. Please tell me what notes are you playing for the free standing fall, I can't get that sound effect on my alto sax. Thank you it is a beautiful sound. (8.48min video positiion)
Starting on a C# then playing chromatic down to low C#. Using side C and fork F# so that it sounds smooth. I did a whole video on Falls. Check it out!
Great lesson ... I just need a sax 😆.
Hey Vikki, Here's a video reviewing a saxophone worth looking into if you're interested in an inexpensive horn to get started.

Do you have a website with all your teaching videos? They are great! Thank you!!
That will be happening in the future. Trying to nail down my teaching game plan for 2019 but an online sax school doing a step by step guide for everything I teach is on the horizon at some point.
You just got another subscriber!
Thanks Michael! Let me know if you have any video suggestions. I've got a new AD LIB one going up tomorrow.
Looking forward to it! One lesson suggestion might be to do something on playing in a Rock style, a little like your very concise lesson on funk. I tried to play in a cover band a while back, but I: a) hadn’t counted on those tough guitar-oriented key signatures and b) couldn’t drop my jazz-standards phrasing or my “stock” phrases.
Hey! Yeah, those key signatures are tough!! Now I'm super comfortable in C# and F#, but when I first started playing in that style it was a bit of a struggle. I'll put rock style on the list. Thanks.
Hi Scott, this are by far the best sax teaching videos !. A question: how do you deal with the middle C# that is in the melody?. It sounds nice you you play it. In most alto sax models it sounds thin and out of tune. Do you use alternate fingerings there ?.
Nestor Fernández if u press down on the third finger key on ur left hand while playing C# it comes out more in tune
Hey Scott, just curious if you change the audio settings on the recording when you talk vs. when you play? You have a great sound, very free and effortless in all registers. Keep up the great work.
I have 2 mics. One for talking and one for playing. My sax is much louder than my voice so I realized early on I need 2. In my early videos I did everything on a go pro, and the sound was kind of weird.
Im a guitarist but i need this lesson
Thanks for Lessons, you can talk about bossa nova style ?
Yes! that is coming up soon.
Scott what make of Sax is in this video? In your opinion what is the best sax for your money?
Hey Dave - all my gear is listed in the description. This sax, and the best sax (in my opinion) is the P. Mauriat 67RX Influence.
How do I sign up for lessons
How did you do the falls> could you explain the slowly
Check out my video on "How to play a fall" 😁
when you finger g sharp it sounds lower than G. Why?. On my alto G sharp sounds higher than G.
What Microphone do you use for recording the sax?
Shure Beta 97 clip on. Not great for sessions, but perfect for gigs and videos.
Thank you so much scott!
Nice. Your Bb B grace notes are much shorter than C C# at the start.
Baritone saxophone please!
👍
A case of "the scoops" that sounds like a bad thing to have😀
It is!!! 😂😅🤣
Wich is the name of the song?
Summertime
Great video. thanks!
