Obviously, there's more to great sax playing than playing a bunch of fast notes. But without being able to get around the horn quickly and smoothly, you can't move your audience with that feeling of musical adrenaline that got you excited about the sax in the first place.

The problem is that too many of us feel like practicing boring scales and arpeggios is part of the dues we all have to pay, without realizing that practicing technique can be a fun and creative process.

With his streaming video course, Lightning-Fast and Crystal-Clean, renowned recording artist, Adam Larson takes you way beyond what "falls easily under the fingers".
