Saxophone

Saxophonists are amazing sight-readers, who usually specialize in alto, tenor or baritone sax. Alto players will often need to double on tenor and vice versa, with optional double on clarinet and flute. Saxophonists must have the ability to improvise in all styles (jazz, rock, blues, funk, etc), and they must be comfortable performing in a group setting, matching intonation, articulations and dynamics of the other horn players in the ensemble.

Qualifications:

  • Tenor as a primary horn with professional level Alto proficiency is required.
  • Saxophonists with developed altissimo are preferred.
  • Proficiency with Soprano and Baritone sax is a plus!
  • Optional Flute Double: Range must include up to a high C or beyond; the ability to double and triple tongue is preferred.
  • The ability to extend beyond a performer into an entertainer.
  • Musical proficiency in tone, articulation, dynamics, and phrasing comparable to University-level education or higher.
  • Advanced improvisational skills as a musician.
  • Advanced sight reading and transposition skills.
  • Ability and previous experience operating loopers, harmonizers, and programs such as Ableton Live.
  • Knowledge of Top 40 music styles from the 1960s through today.
  • Applicable experience in wedding/bar bands, alongside DJs, pit bands and similar commercial music ensembles.
  • Ability to quickly and effortlessly memorize music under tight timelines.
