Hi!
im a Bari Sax player, a junior in high school, I've been playing for 5 years (soloing for 3 months), and I need help forming a practice schedule. What I usually do is practice scales for 30 minutes, improv for an hour and a half and then learn new techniques ( overtones, altissimo, slap tongue) for another half hour, and finally improv for another hour and a half. I'm having difficulty improving on my soloing, especially soloing over different chords. I'm also having difficulty with playing faster than quarter notes without losing time. What can I do to get better as a soloist and a musician? Any advice would be great thank you!
