Learn to play the beautiful jazz ballad 'Round Midnight by Thelonious Monk on sax. The lesson has two versions, one for beginners and one for advanced players. In the first version, the melody is played simply without variations or decoration. The second version of the melody has been varied and decorated. There is also a transcription of an improvised solo.
👏 👏 👏 Special thanks to the amazing guitarist Jamie Horowitz for the beautiful accompaniment he recorded for this track!

Excellent video, really enjoyed hearing you play and excited to shed this on both alto and tenor. Thank you very much for sharing the solo transcription. Such a lovely, melodic and Monk-esq style. Truly well done Paul!

Who knew playing Cyberpunk could motivate me in picking up the sax again

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

I haven’t played it! is there a track in it you want to learn?

[@minotaur818]

@@OnlineSaxAcademy There is a jazz radio station in the game, but theres none in particular that comes to mind. It would be nice to see more tutorial videos for bossa nova stuff though.

[@srnj93]

in your intro, what song is there when the disc coming?

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

Hi! That is something I wrote.

[@stephenrose9154]

why did you choose the key that this is played in?

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

Hi Stephen, I put it in this key as it is the most common key that this tune is played in, it’s not the easiest but it means you could to play this tune with other musicians at a jam session without too much trouble!
