Praise for Etudes:
If you’ve enjoyed working through Dr. Ethan Helm’s Patterns for Creative Improvisation as much as I have, his latest publication connects the dots between technical exercise and practical application. The iReal Pro play-along tracks enhance the experience of playing through these études by allowing the player to hear how Dr. Helm’s harmonic ideas correlate to the underlying harmony. The Études for Creative Improvisation package is a must have for saxophonists looking to take their playing to the next level!
