Having a good ear is crucial to being able to improvise well on saxophone.
So here are a few saxophone ear training videos. I’m placing them here in approximate order of difficulty. Leave a comment letting me know which ones you like and what you would like to see more of.
I’m also making a class focusing on ear training for saxophone that will go much farther than these videos.
