Congratulations! You’ve purchased an EWI! Maybe it’s your first experience with an electronic wind instrument. Maybe it’s your first experience with a wind instrument of any kind! Maybe you’ve been fiddling around with the EWI and haven’t really been able to get into it the way you want. Maybe you’re having difficulty playing it. That is exactly where I was as I first purchased an EWI. I had difficulty adjusting to it. I had difficulty NOT getting sounds and notes I didn’t want. I searched the web, YouTube videos, and contacted other players for help, but I ran into two problems: I found absolutely no books or videos to help me. Most videos only talked about programming tips and tricks and nothing about just getting over hurdle of playing the instrument.

If this sounds familiar to you then this course is for you!

This is a video accompaniment to "The Book Of EWI". In these videos I go into detail about certain techniques and demonstrate the same.

What the Pros are saying about “250 Jazz Patterns”: “I highly recommend the book “250 Jazz Patterns” by Evan Tate, it is an invaluable tool

for the development of improvisation in the jazz language. I use it with my students to

develop their ear towards a more melodic and motif oriented approach to playing chord

progressions, specifically turnarounds and the essential ii V I variations. There is more

to this book than meets the eye, it not only feeds student but it teaches the student to

cook so that he/she can feed themselves for a musical lifetime.”

www.chicofreeman.com “In a world already overcrowded with instructional books written about jazz

improvisation, Evan Tate’s rises to the top. I urge any beginning musician interested in

becoming a more fluent improviser to buy this book. It will help you tremendously.”
