<p>Expanding on his last book, Around The Horn, author and recording artist Walt Weiskopf has raised the bar again with Beyond The Horn, a new book co-authored by saxophonist Ed Rosenberg. Beyond The Horn highlights intervals of 3rds, 5ths, 6ths, 10ths, and introduces the concept of octave displacement. Studies and Exercises are in all 12 keys. The book concludes with 20 etudes that incorporate this new material. The large 244 page book will add increasingly larger intervals to your vocabulary and open your ears as well. Also included are author's notes on how to practice the technically challenging material. Successfully taught at the famous Eastman School of Music for the past several years, this method will take you beyond your previously assumed technical limits. For all musicians looking for a new direction.</p>

Beyond the Horn

<p>Recording artist and master improviser, Walt Weiskopf, presents the simple technique of using only two triads to create long, exciting phrases for all improvisers. You will find yourself suddenly sounding much more hip and 'modern' with this technique, and yet it is fairly easy to understand. Walt explains the technique, and then gives you plenty of material to work on to get this method 'under your fingers.' This is definitely a recommended book for intermediate or advanced players who are looking for something to help take them to the next level. Use intervallic techniques to expand and enhance your musical performance in whole new directions.</p>
