Summary of This Method
Beyond The Horn continues the work started in "Around The Horn" and takes interval practice further with a methodical and progressive approach. Co-written by Walt Weiskopf and saxophonist Ed Rosenberg, this book offers a clear path to incorporate wider intervals into your playing, gain fluidity, and open new colors in your phrasing.
The method focuses on thirds, fifths, sixths, and tenths, then introduces the concept of octave displacement to refresh melodic contours and better control leaps across the entire range. The exercises are constructed in all keys, an essential asset for solidifying transposition, intonation, and rhythmic consistency, regardless of your instrument.
At the end of the book, 20 studies bring together all the material covered. They allow you to move from "laboratory" work (patterns, sequences, automation) to a musical context, while maintaining a demanding framework. Author notes complement the content to help you organize your routine, approach technically challenging passages, and overcome the limitations often imposed by habit.
Taught notably at the Eastman School of Music, this method targets musicians seeking a new direction in their practice, with dense, progressive content aimed at the concrete expansion of their language.
