Together with the 12 Major scale warm Up, this is a great tool to practice. I will start now to play both at the same practice session (although for the beginning now only up to 3 sharps and flats). I put the metronome to 90 Bpm and try to play them without music sheet in this order: major scale, minor scale, pentatonic major, pentatonic minor, blues scale. Going up and down the whole range of the sax. When I can play these first 7 scales by memory without fault I will add more scales later on. Greetings from amazingThailand Marco
@@OnlineSaxAcademy Yeah, I am 65 now and I wish I had done this 40 years ago, when I started to play saxophone:practicing with system. I never practiced scales and never with a metronome. I had no idea about music theory, pentatonic, blues and so on. My reading of music sheets is still very poor. But at that time I had no teacher, I was travelling as electronic Engineer for a big german Company all over the world for customer support. I bought the saxophone mainly to have something to do in all these strange countries (among them Saudi and Libya) when I was not working and to keep me off only hanging around in bars in my free time. In fact, I only started around 2 years ago to practice dayly and systematically and now for at least 3 hours every day. It is so exiting nowadays with all these good saxophone lessons on internet (like your's). Since almost 9 years I am retired and live in Thailand now, great country, good food, super weather and the most important: nice people. All the best to you, your students and cheers from Thailand Marco
Hey man @marcowenzel8889 , would you email me your practice routine? I'm starting out and would like a solid systematic routine like you have described? even google sheets or anything easy to transfer..
Love the video. Thanks for a great warm up. The only critique is to have the scale up on the video about one or two seconds prior playing it. I was missing the first couple of notes of each scale because I didn't know what was coming next.
I just saw your following WOW congratulations well deserved . I remember when you had a a couple of thousands. Keep it mate🇦🇺🎷🦘💫🍀 your set up and content is easy to follow with great palettes Colours of music to play and visually very effective especially when showing alto and tenor together. Last 7 months I have been learning the flute as well… Ciao next comment when your reach 150 k 🙏🇦🇺💫🍀🎷
In the video it is played on alto, but you can get the tenor version here: www.onlinesaxacademy.com/youtubelibrary just search for the video in the search bar at the top of the page and click the free content button
You are the first person ever to explain simply the Cmaj and Amin by moving the A to the root position. Does the same apply to all the other scales please? Mind you I suppose I could work it out for myself.
@waterhen. It’s normally taught that you count back 3 semi tones because you don’t count the note your starting on, think of it as 3 moves down, but if you count your starting note as 1 then it would be 4

Exelelent video, but!, you need to write de armony for more clarity and relationate the single scale with the chord progretion....that is the secret, not onlt the simple sacale
Thanks, I find that that is too advanced for most people who are just learning these scales for the first time. I do have more advanced specific lessons about chord/scale theory but that wasn’t the goal of this lesson where these backing tracks mostly to make practice more fun.
This took me about an hour Started off using the notes on the screen (I paused video on tv) then expanded the range as far as I could go Its probably me but I have a bad habit of musical wandering off on a scale when a tune comes into my head. So 5 mins = 1hr Had to stop to give my chops a rest All in all I like this and will try to cut down to 10mins Cheers 👍

So helpful, thank u
Thanks kittykittysoftpaws!
What's the chords being played by the keyboard?
You are the first person ever to explain simply the Cmaj and Amin by moving the A to the root position. Does the same apply to all the other scales please? Mind you I suppose I could work it out for myself.
Thanks Shirley! Yes this will apply to all major to minor scales. The 6th note of the major scale is the root note of the relative minor
@@OnlineSaxAcademy thank you for replying
@@OnlineSaxAcademy you can also count back 4 semitones yes/no?
@waterhen. It’s normally taught that you count back 3 semi tones because you don’t count the note your starting on, think of it as 3 moves down, but if you count your starting note as 1 then it would be 4
