"Alright moving up in difficulties. This is the c minor interval exercise. Basically we?re going from the first note to the third note on the scale, back to the second note and back up to the fourth one. I can show you how to finger it real fast on my saxophone. I will be playing c and moving up to e flat and back to d and up to f, back to e flat, up to g, back to f, up to a, back to g, b flat, a, c. Coming back down, c, g, b flat, f, a, e flat, f, d, e flat, c. Pretty simple. Let's just play through it. It is probably a lot simpler that it sounds when I am running through it. Here we go. Pretty cool sounding little exercise and as you go through all your scales you are really going to get the hang of your saxophone. That's a harder one to practice but knock it out and see if you can do that at home and you are really going to get advanced here pretty quickly doing exercises like that."

on 11/26/2009 I had no idea that C dorian and C minor were the same. I could have sworn c minor was the relative minor of Eb and C dorian was the ii of Bb major. My mistake, thank you Brian Mederios! Jesus, I hope this guy doesn't have any students, they'll be damaged for life.

on 9/15/2009 I am a jazz faculty member at UNC Wilmington. For the record, Brian DOES NOT have a "jazz studies degree" from UNC Wilmington. He took some music courses, but his degree was in business administration, not music. We take pride in our program and we resent any implication that his (unfortunately, numerous) videos are examples of what we teach. -Bob Russell

on 9/12/2009 This is hysterical. I am a professional (for real) classical flutist and this is a GREAT training video on how NOT to do it or anything for that matter. I love the ten penny rule using the push-pins.
