Omg Thank You So Much. During These Times Its hard to find someone to play and practice with a Piano Part with.

Thank you so very much!!! This is a resource that's been greatly needed, and you've done it beautifully! This does for classical saxophonists what Jamey Aebersold has done for jazz instrumentalists. BRAVO!!!

Awesome idea, misleading realisation. A human being is not capable of playing like this, in particular all those incredibly difficult 16-ths at that velocity. It would be of much better help to saxophonists if you asked a flesh-and-blood pianist to play their part, and not introducing the piano part into finale/Sibelius/musescore whatever; otherwise when it comes to playing with a human being, a saxophonist could be expecting from a pianist something that isn't feasible at all

[@Nint6469]

completely agree this recording really throws me off with how little feel there is to piece super robotic especially when the piece asks for a lot of pushing and pulling through out the measures

[@jbargermusic]

Absolutely, I appreciate both of your perspectives! It's crucial to acknowledge that these videos are not a replacement for the experience of collaborating with a live pianist. They serve as educational tools, aiding saxophonists in studying the interplay between saxophone and piano. However, I think it's important to recognize that many students face limitations, such as limited access to a live pianist or financial constraints. For some, having these videos as a resource becomes invaluable when live collaboration isn't readily available. Your insights highlight the importance of balancing these study aids with real-world collaboration and the study of recordings. Thank you for contributing to the conversation!

@@jbargermusic Yes! This is exactly right! My students have benefited greatly from the your piano tracks, especially this one. It's a tremendous resource to help them prepare. Often, they only get one or two rehearsals before the performance, so having the opportunity to play along with a track like this is incredibly helpful. Thank you for putting together all of these wonderful tracks!!!

[@jbargermusic]

@@MarkSmithSaxophone Thank you so much, Mark! I am thrilled that the tracks are making a positive impact for your students. Your trust and support mean a lot, and I'm grateful to be able to contribute to your students' musical journey. Keep up the fantastic work with your teaching!
