BeatBox Sax Techniques with Derek Brown
I recently sat down for an interview with saxophonist Derek Brown, who is extremely well known for the beatboxing technique he uses when he plays. Derek was able to teach me some basic beatbox techniques in a really fun and approachable way.
Derek has a new book out, BeatBox Sax Etudes, which starts at the beginner level and breaks down the techniques that he uses. Derek is a firm believer that anyone, even beginners, don’t need to wait to learn how to improvise. You can learn now, regardless of your playing level and Derek breaks down how.
Derek demonstrates some BeatBox techniques that makes it easy to learn. He walks players through what each technique is, how to approach it, and what it does to the sound. Derek’s style and approach opens up windows into ways of playing the saxophone that a lot of people haven’t experienced or even considered before.
