4.0 out of 5 stars Great book but alto or tenor?, January 31, 2000

By

This review is from: Saxophone Method with CD (Audio) (Paperback)

This looks to be an excellent book as I am just learning the sax. It's well written and the CD cleverly has the sax on one channel and other instruments on the other so you can listen to the sax alone or play yourself with accompaniment. Be careful, though. Only one title appears to be listed with amazon.com but the book is published two ways: one for alto and baritone sax and the other for tenor and soprano. If you want the tenor version, as I did, you may need to investigate further or order the tenor/soprano sax CD, which is available separately. Excellent book, overall!

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended for Beginners, December 16, 1999

This review is from: Saxophone Method with CD (Audio) (Paperback)

I am teaching myself to play Sax. Before I started I didn't even remember how to read music. This book has been excellant. It goes step by step, one note at a time and includes fingering chart and breathing techniques. I'm about 1/2 way through it now and am ordering book 2 for when I'm done. I highly recommend it for anyone serious about not just learning how to play, but learning how to play well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for the beginner, February 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Saxophone Method with CD (Audio) (Paperback)

This saxophone book is excellent for the beginner saxophone player who is unfamiliar with reading music. It reviews and reinforces technique in simple text. I especially liked the easy-to-understand fingering chart, which is probably the best feature of the book.
