Playing Both Sides of the Horn: Approaching the Saxophone As a Classical and Jazz Instr... - 0 views

jazz classical instrument Saxophone music education

  • The saxophone is usually viewed by the wider public as a “jazz instrument,” thanks to nearly one hundred years of iconography associated with that art form
  • most in the music community now recognize that the instrument is capable of performing in any musical style, from contemporary classical to jazz to rock to pop to salsa, and so much more.
  • Instead of solely nurturing one style of saxophone playing, students should be encouraged to make use of all of the wonderful potentialities of the instrument, so that they can enjoy any possible form of music making throughout their lives.

  • A different mouthpiece and reed combination. The classical and commercial genres require different sounds, approaches to articulation, etc. While the performer mostly accomplishes this, a purpose-built, high-quality mouthpiece will make their lives easier
  • Many charlatans are lurking in the world, touting their instruments as “perfect for jazz” or “great for classical playing!” In truth, a quality saxophone is a quality saxophone, and all reputable brands are manufactured to allow for absolutely any type of playing. The student should simply be on the highest-quality instrument possible
  • two “pants pockets.” In one, a saxophonist keeps their classical skills, and in the other they keep their jazz skills. The two different styles shouldn’t mix, but they should both be handy for any given musical situation.
  • classical alto performance include the Selmer S-80 C*, the Selmer S-90 190, the Selmer Concept, or the Vandoren Optimum AL3. For jazz alto, the Meyer 5M, Vandoren V16 5M, Jody Jazz HR 5M, and the D’Addario Select 5M are all great choices.
  • As far as reeds go, it’s really up to the preference of the student. Some players use “classical” reeds and “jazz” reeds, while others use the same make on both setups. However, since classical and jazz mouthpieces are designed differently, the student will normally need to play reeds that are slightly lower in strength on their jazz mouthpiece.
  • teachers advocate different embouchures for jazz and classical playing, I am of the opinion that one can serve both purposes
  • One of the biggest differences between the performance of commercial and classical styles is articulation
  • Classical and jazz saxophone sounds are vastly different
  • how are students supposed to know what a great classical or jazz sound is? How are they supposed to learn about style? As always, the musician’s greatest tool is a busy set of ears.
  • Young saxophonists, from the first day, should have quality recordings available to them. With online video-sharing and streaming services, it is incredibly easy to give a student a list of names and let them start exploring for themselves

    This articles discusses myths of the saxophone being a jazz instrument rather than a classical instrument. It offers suggestions on instrument selection, mouthpieces, embouchure development and reed selection.

    A music teacher blogs an idea for evaluation for kindergarteners. Mine don't do a winter concert, so I'd have to edit it, but another great way to incorporate evaluating (responding) with music in a simple way that young children can understand.

    The lessons found here are for integrating popular music study into general music curricula. The lessons are all standards-aligned and are almost entirely historical, cultural, sociological, and musicological in nature. The lessons can also be integrated into social studies curricula. There are many opportunities in all of these lessons for students to embark on music and cultural research to enhance and deepen their understanding of the music they are learning to play/sing/perform.

    This site has some great resources for ukulele and guitar learning in the classroom. These are free. The powerpoints are especially great because it is a step by step lesson to get students to play their instruments as quickly as possible (including little excerpts of songs in a different key). The rest of the site provides "easy" versions of popular songs for students to begin playing quickly. It was given to me in a conference session about using popular music to teach ukulele and guitar.

      The "Tap Your Feet to the Rock Beat" option was so fun.  How "on" are your beat/rhythm skills?

    This website from PBS gives students (K-5) an opportunity to play games associated with different types of music.  Art and music are combined in some instances to appeal to this age group.  Non-traditional composition is also covered in these games in particular genres of music.

    Find fun music games for elementary students to try on a computer or an e-pad.

    PBS has great resources, especially their stuff on Jazz musicians. This page is fun, too. Kids can explore sound as it relates to up and down visually.

    For anyone looking for musical games targeted towards the younger elementary grades, this is a great source to look to. It has all of your favorite PBS characters engaged in interesting musical activities such as painting, recording, and genre guessing. I'd recommend this site to all general music elementary teachers!

    This website provides many musical games for children ages 3-6. There are games which include opportunities for children to create music, identify instrument sounds, and explore rhythms.

    Some of these music games don't seem very educational to me, but I think that they offer a variety of musical style games which could be interested for my 5th graders. I think that the zen musical composition games aren't too "babyish" (as my students would say) for the 5th grade students. However, it's something I would need to explore more.

    This is a great resource of early childhood music students. There are numerous games that will introduce children to different sounds, different genres and even how to create music and be expressive with music.

    This site's purpose is to allow younger children opportunity to interact with music through games and listening. I explored Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, which I think would be perfect for my three year old. She can click using the arrows or mouse to create different sounds, and even explore different moods of music (happy, sad etc). The site also features other genres of music which is great to expose students to from an early age.

    Simple music game website geared towards younger children. This would help allow young children to learn more about different instruments, especially ones they've seen on the TV show Daniel Tiger.

    This is a fun and interactive way for pre-school or lower elementary aged kids to learn about music. They can explore many timbres of sound with familiar characters. I use this with my own children and it's a hit!

    This website has a wide selection of music games for the young musician. Games are flash-based and are in a variety of musical genres. Many games require the user to compose in a specific style. Would work well on Chromebooks or computer lab.

    This is a wonderful website for string quartet and ensembles that want to perform non-traditional music. Mona Lisa Sound has sheet music from the Beatles, the Who, Led Zeppelin and more at a reasonable price. Music can be searched by artist, song name, ensemble make up, and difficulty.

    PBS Kids' Chuck Vanderchuck is an amazing tool for teaching music genre and history. My students love it and ask for it year after year.

    This is a wonderful, interactive website appropriate for grade levels Kindergarten through 5th grade, with "Jam Sessions" on various genres in music. It uses videos and interactive games to teach students about the instruments, rhythms, and lyrics often used in that particular genre. Genres include hip-hop, country, salsa, reggae, jazz, blues, classical, and rock and roll.

    Chuck Vanderchuck is a fantastic resource for teaching students about different genres found in music (not just classical!). Kids love the different sounds that genre-based instruments make, fun catch phrases that Chuck repeats throughout the site, and different historical facts about how each genre originated. Students are invited to move to music, arrange their own combos with different instruments, and engage in memory games to help them learn the content provided.

    This website allows students to experiment with different genres of music. It gives students a chance to have their own "jam session."
