This is how to connect the scales to the chords
Getting from playing rather simple chord note solos using a couple of chord notes to using scales and playing longer lines within the scales is a thing. 
Chord scale relationships are one of the fundamentals in playing jazz. 
You have to know this when playing jazz. 
Connecting the scales to the chords is the way to develop your solos.

Visualize and silent practice – Get the most out of your practise in this way

Visualize and silent practice – Get the most out of your practise in this way
Many saxophone players do not have the possibility to practise at home with sound. This is a huge obstacle in the development of playing and in the pleasure of playing. 

I have used visualizing and silent practise for many years. This has given me the possibility to grow whenever I had time to focus on music.
Practise when you travel, in the train or in the car. Practise before you sleep, in front of the tv. 

With or without the saxophone, with or without making sound – it is always possible to practise.
In this video I will give you all the ins and outs of visualizing and silent practise.
