Horn players aren’t tracking every lick you’ve practiced. They’re listening for big phrasing markers — the moments that anchor the form without forcing anyone to “do the math.”

That’s where the Landing Point Method comes in.

In this video, I’ll show you how to use intentional accents to make your phrasing crystal clear while staying creative and dynamic. You’ll learn how to design phrase shapes, vary your landing points, and break out of your habits without losing the form.

What you’ll learn:

Why the band gets lost even when you aren’t
How horn players actually perceive your soloing
The Landing Point exercise that locks everyone back in on beat one
How to make your phrasing clear, musical, and unpredictable in the best way
