5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Set for *THIS* Newbie!, January 24, 2007
By Lil O'Handley "LillyO" (Idaho Falls, ID USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was completely new to music. I have always wanted to learn to play the sax and I bought several books to get me started. This set has been invaluable to me! I am learning the notes. I am learning the basics of music. The coolest part is that when I am "confused" (which is often) it came with an audio CD to help me hear what the song I am currently mutilating is *really* supposed to sound like! The DVD helps show proper posture while playing, care for the sax, etc. I admittedly have only watched it a couple of times...it is helpful, but not the most-used part of the set, for sure!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Decent No Nonsense Video - Short & to the Point..., August 11, 2007
By Jim Francis "JimFrancis" (Miami/London/Negril) - See all my reviews
It's only about 25 mins long but I'm still glad I saw it and I'll be happy to watch it again a few times. It's a very low cost introduction and I think it's worth every penny. The other DVD I ordered and enjoyed was the Ultimate Beginners Series Alto Sax and that was an hour long. It was interesting to see the contrasting points of both videos and I'd definitely recommend them both just to see a couple of different approaches.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good guide..., October 29, 2007
By FranciscoMx "Paco" (Monterrey, Mexico) - See all my reviews
This book is really a step by step guide... the CD and the DVD are very helpful support four stars because could be better with photos about the finger positions... Estos libros son una super ayuda para los que nos gusta avanzar sin maestro...solo le faltan imagenes para la posición de los dedos... recomendado...
