Hi, I just wanted to notice you that I posted some information about Juhani Aaltonen on a thread that you had started a while ago. Please take a look at it!
Martinman - 06-11-2011 05:39 AM View Conversation

Love the exercises Tim. Looking forward to any flute-specific stuff you may post.
Tim Price - 04-12-2011 02:50 PM

Thought I'd share this- and info on teaching topics.

http://www.timpricejazz.com/audio/stareyes.mp3

STAR EYES ON ALTO...... many years ago.

I am often asked about scales used to solo over chord progression. My response is usually to shift focus more on developing your phrasing rather than simply learning new scales. Learning new scales only will produce limited results because THE WAY you play has not really changed. Improving your phrasing deals more with the actual element of HOW rather than "what" notes to play. When it comes to phrasing, remember that it is all about the little nuances that can make ALL the difference.

Thank you- Tim Price

PS- Here is a fun YOU TUBE of my friend Ernie Watts trying my SilverSerie3 tenor at NAMM 2011 SHOW in California.

Hey, Tim,
Thanks for the friend request---I'm happy to accept. I haven't been around SOTW much lately---crazy busy---but always like to see your posts. As a returnee to sax after an absence too long to reveal, SOTW and its gurus (you being one of the best) have been invaluable to me. Thanks. If you are ever down my way, stop by.

Hi Tim...sorry for the confusion. This phone is going for diagnostics and repairs on Sat. Yeah, thanks man. To be a " friend " would be a real pleasure. Not exactly sure what it is about really. Friendship....cool. Look forward to some good conversation. Very nearly gave phone up. I dont do computers. I am really digging S.O.T.W. It would be a shame to leave so soon....thanks Tim...peace. adrian

Hey Tim,

Thanks for the friend request. Let me know if you're ever in the northern Virginia area.
Teagan - 12-10-2010 09:13 PM View Conversation

Hi Tim, just signed you up too. Funny though, I had read an article you wrote about transcriptions and how it was your job so one should go out and buy the book (or something to that effect!), I did. Unfortunately it doesn't correspond at all to any version of 'Stars Fell over Alabama' that I've ever heard. What a shame!
arkansasRed - 12-07-2010 03:30 PM View Conversation

Hi Tim. I just signed you up as one of my "friends".
Just to let you know, I'm in the Seattle area and have studied with Don Lanphere and Hadley Caliman (which are both no longer with us) for about two years with each one. I'm an old fart (66) and didn't learn much other than I had a lot to learn. I've enjoyed your post over the time here on SOTW. I grew up in Arkansas, hence "ArkansasRed". Cheers and Happy Holidays to you.
spartacus - 12-06-2010 06:39 PM View Conversation

Thanks for your friendship invite, Tim. I guess you know your books are listed in my book, Songdex II, available from CasaValdez.
Thanks again, much appreciated.
