What Our Members Say...

“Jay – this one is lots of fun and its confirmation that your method works! I can play all of them without thinking; all of the exercises have created a direct connection between the ears and the fingers without interference from the conscious part of the brain. Even better, I can see that your approach can be applied to any set of scales. Thanks so much!”
Brian Cole

What a great course.  A little over 5 months to do absolutely everything right, in between work and travel. Worth every second! What an accomplishment! On to Blues Language!”
John Eaton

“I enrolled in and completed your “Play by ear” course, and bought the Pentatonic Foundation course shortly after. Since then, I have been learning and progressing exponentially… Many thanks to BetterSax for an extremely enjoyable and rewarding experience.”
Mark Phillips

“This is the best instruction on learning pentatonic scales and beginning improvisation I have come across so far! Your method is also good for improving finger agility on an instrument, too. Thanks for sharing! You’re a great teacher!”

"Hands down the best improvisation teaching I've come across."

“Hi Jay, I just wanted to say how good this course is. The pentatonic scales have given me a renewed confidence in my improvising & my playing by ear. I now know for certain that this course is going to take me to the next level & beyond. Thanks again.”
Chris Allen

“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.”
Peter Milner

“I must say I’m impressed. When I joined I didn’t know what to expect but it was money well spent. I have been practicing daily until my lips give out, I have only been playing the Sax for a couple of months and your tutorials are perfect. All anyone needs to do is follow your instructions.”
Jeff Franklin
Jeff FranklinPentatonic Foundation
“I have just played the first backing track and rattled off my first attempt at improvisation using what I’ve gleaned so far. Well, even to me, it sounded not bad. The hair on the back of my neck stood up just thinking of the implications of what I have here. Now, I’m a lot further along the road than I was, thanks to you.”
Lawrence Foster
Lawrence FosterPentatonic Patterns for Improvisation
“What began as long tone exercises at 7pm, ended three and a half hours later with me ad libbing on alto and bari to the backing tracks. This is the most fun I have ever had practicing. These lessons are more than I had hoped for.”​
Larry Smith
Larry SmithBlues Foundation
"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!"
Brock Henning

“Thoroughly enjoyed the Pentatonic Foundation course. Didn’t think it was possible to improve after years of bad habits, but your teaching method and exercises enabled me to be successful. Loved the backing tracks and ability to revisit lessons when needed. I’m going to enroll in your Blues Foundation course to continue these amazing and affordable lessons. Thanks Jay!”
Christina Williams
Christina WilliamsPentatonic Foundation
"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!"
Brian Jonassen

"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."
