5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent technique book from a great human being,
By PeterSax "Pete" (Cleveland, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Technique of the Saxophone: Scale Studies (Paperback)
Joe was a wonderful human being. I studied with him at Berklee in the 80's. He was a great technician, and these are the same exercises that he used in his private lessons. These will definitely build your saxophone technique in all twelve keys, as well as improve your sight-reading. There's just about every conceivable kind of exercise in this book. when you've mastered this, go on to his second book: Chord Studies. You won't be sorry. Of course, they are rather challenging, so start slow, and build up your speed. Take a little at a time. Good luck!

Great for Reading,
By Monkeys (CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Technique of the Saxophone: Scale Studies (Paperback)
This book is great because there are exercisers in every key signature which really makes you work. Working on all of the exercisers were very helpful to me because now a find it much easier to read in different keys. Very good book.
