What Our Members Say...

The difference between when I started and when I finished was really impressive. Found the lessons easy but they definitely made a difference in my playing. Thanks again and looking forward to the Blues Foundation Course.

This course is brilliant! You can dip in and out forever with Jays membership system.

“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
BetterSax Member
A GREAT course! I’ve been working through it for almost a year now and have several years left - I think. Indispensable!

“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!”

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!”

“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
BetterSax Member
“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
BetterSax Member
“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.”

I can attest you will not be sorry if you take this course. I have learned a lot and gained some much needed confidence.
Laura Littlewolf
BetterSax Member
“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!”

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
BetterSax Member
I love these exercises. Something I haven’t learned even when I started playing at 12. I’m learning so much from this and the other courses I’m taking here. Jay, you’re a very thorough informative…not to mention funny…teacher. Thank you!!!
Jerryl
BetterSax Member
I like the fact that it is like you being there during the exercises. I did follow your advice and did make this exercise part of my routine when I am practicing.
I am so glad I joined.
