The method is based on the principles of creative reading, which involves actively engaging with the music and using prior knowledge and experience to make informed decisions about how to interpret and perform it. This approach allows saxophonists to develop a deeper understanding of the music they are playing and to express themselves more freely and creatively.

The Creative Reading Studies Method

The Creative Reading Studies method is divided into three levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. Each level includes a series of progressively challenging exercises and etudes that are designed to develop specific reading skills.

The Beginner level focuses on developing the basic skills of reading music, such as note recognition, rhythm, and articulation. The Intermediate level builds on these skills and introduces more complex rhythms and melodies. The Advanced level challenges saxophonists with advanced rhythms, harmonies, and modulations.

Each exercise and etude in the Creative Reading Studies method is carefully crafted to provide saxophonists with the opportunity to practice specific reading skills in a musical context. The exercises are designed to be challenging but achievable, and they provide immediate feedback on progress.
