Hi everyones,
After 2 years of tenor sax focusing on learning (or trying to learn) improvised music (mainly jazz), I have decided to take the next step which is transposing and practicing scales/arpeggios/patterns/licks systematically in all 12 tones. I did transpose in the past but I always restricted myself to the keys of the tune I was studying.
It seems to be one of the best ways to make significant progressess, however after 30 minutes of transposing a 251 licks in all 12 keys my brain is quite close to blow up. I also have the impression that it affects my motivation.
How was it on your side when you started transposing in 12 keys? Is my feeling normal? How long does it take until it becomes easier?
Thanks in advance for you answers.
