Tetratonics & Articulation – Pocket Practice Ideas | Jazz Technique with Saxophonist Dave O’Higgins

Welcome back to week eight of Dave O'Higgin's 'Pocket Practice Ideas'.

This video is the eighth and final Pocket Practice Idea of the series, created in collaboration with @daveohig and Vandoren UK. This video is a continuation of the 'Articulation Basics' Dave taught in week 7, applying the articulation techniques to patterns, then 12 bars blues, and finally 'I Got Rhythm' changes.

This series aims to develop your technique and make the most of the time you have to work on your playing. @daveohig likes to change up the routine he uses to practice and often finds it highly productive and engaging to take a simple idea and then run with it. Happy Practising!
