App Description
The OFFICIAL ABRSM Alto Saxophone Practice Partner is a simple way to make practising pieces for your alto saxophone exams more musical, enjoyable and fun.
Use Saxophone Practice Partner to practise with the piano accompaniment, the alto saxophone part in isolation, or the duo ensemble recording. The app will help you to:
• Become familiar with the accompaniment and understand how the solo line fits with the piano part for more secure performances.
• Make practice more musical and enjoyable by having a virtual alto saxophone partner to play along with.
• Slow down or speed up the music to a tempo that suits you, for slow careful practice.
• Listen closely to the alto saxophone in isolation to hear every detail of the expert performance.
• Set loops to repeat parts of your piece if you need to focus on one section.
• Improve your control and general technique, helping you to become a more fluent performer.
• Learn to memorise your music for more secure performances.
