Lluis’ Translation:

Hello everyone.

My name is Lluis and I live in Barcelona, ​​Spain.

I've been playing the tenor saxophone as a hobby for a few years now.

I also play in an adult big band at a music school, and I've decided to join this group to improve my improvisation skills (which are quite limited).

I hope to learn a lot with the help of Steve and all of you.

By the way, are you working on any particular piece this month?

Best regards to all.

Hola Lluís, ¡bienvenido! :)

Espero que algunos miembros del estudio puedan responder pronto. Este mes estamos trabajando con escalas pentatónicas sobre estándares. Escucha la melodía de la unidad "Bye Bye Blackbird" para ver en qué están trabajando los alumnos.

Personalmente, he estado practicando líneas largas de blues en las 12 tonalidades. Voy probando una tonalidad a la vez hasta que me siento cómodo con los dedos y luego paso a la siguiente.

¡Tengo muchas ganas de oírte tocar!

Hi Lluis and welcome 🙂

Hopefully some studio members can respond here sometime soon. This month we are working using pentatonics over standards. Check out the ‘Bye Bye Blackbird Unit’ tune into what the students are working on directly.

I personally have been practicing trying to play long lines on the blues in all 12 keys. I’ve been going 1 key at a time until it feels good under the fingers and then moving to the next one.

I look forward to hearing you play!
