IN Welcome back, this is it. This is week 12 of the music coach program on tenor saxophone, you finally reached the end of the program. Congratulations. I hope you've had an amazing time. And that your musical journey is well on its way and you found a way to keep your fire stoked and the passion going. I know that you've laid down some great track, and that your musical abilities are now rooted in something solid, where you can really use your language and express yourself.
And I really want to congratulate you on on having the ability to follow through on this program and just keep taking the little steps every day. Because really, it's a skill that goes way beyond music. It's a life skill to be able to follow through and set a goal and see it all the way through to the end. And in this week's practice video, we're Just going to work on putting together all of the things that you've worked on. So being able to play the melodies, and play the bass parts, and improvise and play around the melody, and build your solos. And start thinking about energy and how you want to shape your solos.
A lot of times, you may find that you want to start with a lot of high energy when your solo begins and bring it down as it goes towards the end or the opposite. And the other great thing about the way your solo is built is when you're playing with other real musicians at all at once. The energy of the moment will tell you a lot about where your solo wants to go. And it's sort of the magic of when you're in the role of the accompanist when you're holding down the solid foundation for someone else to solo. You'll feel when the energy wants to push louder or pull back or gain an intensity or pullback. And then when you're the soloist you'll feel the other people around you doing the same thing and it's really Really exciting and a beautiful part about making music together.
So I hope that you find some places to make real music with real people. Because it's truly the juice of this life to be able to really play with other people. And again, a huge congratulations on getting to the end. I'll see you in the practice video.
