Description
You’ve purchased an EWI! Maybe it’s your first experience with an electronic wind instrument. Maybe it’s your first experience with a wind instrument of any kind! Maybe you’ve been fiddling around with the EWI and haven’t really been able to get into it the way you want. Maybe you’re having difficulty playing it.That is exactly where I was as I first purchased an EWI. I had difficulty adjusting to it. I had difficulty NOT getting sounds and notes I didn’t want. I searched the web, YouTube videos, and contacted other players for help, but I ran into two problems:1. I found absolutely no books or videos to help me.2. Most videos only talked about programming tips and tricks and nothing about just getting over hurdle of playing the instrument.If this sounds familiar to you then this course is for you!My name is Evan Tate, and I am a professional saxophonist and woodwind instructor with over 30 years of experience on the stage and in the studio.I am also author of the books “250 Jazz Patterns”, “Blues & Rhythm Changes in All Keys” as well as “The Book of EWI”.This course will cover technical aspects, such as the use of the octave rollers, fingering suggestions, and other performance techniques.I sincerely hope you get the most of this mini-course and please feel free leave your comments and suggestions.So, let’s get started!
