Rockin' Rondeau Tenor Saxophone from the Standard Of Excellence Book 1

Welcome, tenor saxophone players! In this video, Rick from Musician’s Addition takes you through page 38: Rockin’ Rondeau for Tenor Saxophone. 🎶 This fun and energetic piece is part of a full band arrangement written for woodwinds, brass, and percussion. While the tenor sax part often aligns with the trombones and baritones, you'll also find moments of melody and crucial accompaniment that shape the entire ensemble sound.

🎵 In This Video:
- Breakdown of the tenor saxophone part in Rockin' Rondeau
- Tips on key signature (B-flat), dynamics, repeats, and form
- Discussion of melody vs. accompaniment roles
- How to interpret rehearsal numbers, retard markings, and tempo changes
- Practice with metronome at a learning speed
- Full play-along with a 5th/6th grade band arrangement

Rick also demonstrates how to play through tricky sections with ritardandos and formato markings and encourages practicing in small sections to build confidence and fluency.
