Once You Know This Stuff
Everything Will Change
“Music Theory is not as difficult as many people think it is. In fact, when explained and demonstrated well, the subject becomes easy and fun like a game. When I teach harmony, I make sure that everything is always presented in a context the student is interested in and can understand. Armed with the knowledge presented in the Harmonic Foundation Course, we are unstoppable!”

I love your content! Both the videos and the coursework! I have a degree in Music Ed and have taught many years, but I have to tell you, the Harmonic Foundation course is by far the best I have seen on explaining the mysteriousness of Music Theory and how you can apply it to the saxophone!

"The Studio (and BetterSax courses in general) have been THE biggest part of my sax journey for the last three years, and having the opportunity to play a few small gigs in public is a dream I'd set out to accomplish. So much of my participation in the Studio has given me the confidence and foundations to get out and do this!"

“Thanks Jay, a great course. I will need to keep practicing the content but has taught me so much about improvising that I wish I had known nearly 60 years ago when it was impossible to get help like this.”

"I joined BetterSax early in the pandemic and that changed my sax life. Basically, I began to enjoy playing and looked forward to practicing every day."
