Hi everyone!
I am newbie saxophonist looking for the kind of skills to develop in order to compose arrangements (I hope i have got the terms right!)? For example, one of my favourite saxophonist, muta1206 on youtube, has fantastic backing tracks and arrangements with the saxophone as the primary instrument.
E.g.
Currently, I am studying the saxophone with a teacher, and I would like to know what kind of areas I need to learn in order to do such arrangements. I found this book on amazon, would learning how to compose be the right way forward?
My main computer is a laptop running linux, and I have been playing around with Rosegarden. Hopefully down the line I would like to acquire an osx machine to do arrangements with - not a fan of windows
Thank you!
GW
