Sax Station, What and How to Practice – Jazz, Latin, Funk

scu_jazz_combo_worley I found this interesting site, the Sax Station, that re-purposes YouTubage for practice purposes. The menu of things to do unfortunately is below the fold (two screens down) and site doesn’t have a professional appearance. But what a great way to practice.

"Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don’t live it, it won’t come out of your horn. They teach you there’s a boundary line to music. But, man, there’s no boundary line to art." – Charlie Parker

Maybe we can get the owner to fix the site so that it doesn’t take a mondo monitor for everything to line up. The frames are so wide that I have to stretch the picture beyond the borders of my 19" monitor to my second (twin) 19" monitor to get it to display right. Neal, are you reading?  :o)

Follow-up: After leaving some feedback, Neal has tweaked his site for the IE and other browsers. Now that’s service. I can’t wait to show my students the site.

    "Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom."  That statement can apply to many things.

    Laughing at the Jazz Hands – especially since I have to do "jazz hands" in the play….and a jazz square or something like that – something with my feet….
     
    Charlie Parker ….*smiling*
     
    And as to your comment – man, how do they do it? How do they stick by their man with that public humilation? I’d love to do a research study and a book on women like that – what makes them tick – maybe one’s already been written.

    Now that was good that he immediately effected a fix for other browsers.  Good man who pays attention.
