  • A classic exercise book for any and all sax players!
This book has so many wonderful exercises, duets, and etudes to help improve your technique, learn scales, rhythm and improve your skills as a player. Each page introduces exercises that challenge you more and more in different areas, such as using a particular scale, learn about rhythm and patterns, etc. The student can tackle each exercise at their own speed slowly increase it as they improve their performance. This is a great series of method book from beginner to advance that every saxophone student should use to learn and improve their playing. ... show more

  • Great
I picked this up for my daughter, who is learning to play the saxophone (a teen). After reading some of the reviews, I was a little nervous that it wouldn't be as good as I'd heard, but my worries were unwarranted. The printing is fine, and the construction is just right to learn to play the saxophone. It builds, step-by-step, and offers the needed basis before continuing to the next stage. I'd read that this one was very recommendable and can only agree. As a musician who has taught children several instruments over the years, I can recommend this book to those who are a bit older and want to really learn how to play the instrument with a great basis. ... show more

  • Great for beginners
This book is very good at breaking down the entry/beginner parts of learning to read music while playing the alto saxophone. My 10 year old used this to learn how to get thru the basics of playing the alto sax without much fuss.

  • Not for self teaching
Bought it to self teach, it’s not for that. It’s well respected by instructors who use it to teach.

  • Excellent book since the 1930s
I am a band director and have used several method books over the years. The Rubank series was written in the 1930s and still remains one of the best out there. It is simple and logical. It does not clutter the page with images or unnecessary information. It focuses on fundamentals, scales, and fingering options. Highly recommend. There is also an intermediate and advanced method to follow. This easy method however could certainly be used for middle and high school students. The final page is all 16th notes going around the circle of 5ths as arpeggios and their dominant chords. ... show more

  • Great book for beginners!
This book contains the basic knowledge needed for learning the saxophone. I've also purchased the book for the clarinet. I like that this book includes a fingering chart but you may want to download one from the internet for alternate fingerings. Dedicated practice time and going through each lesson pays off. ... show more
