What Our Members Say...
“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.”

“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.”

“Jay – this one is lots of fun and it's 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!”

“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!”
