  • Useful, organized, clear and instructive
I bought this and several others from this series. I am a volunteer at a middle school band department and these are the ones used by the very knowledgeable band Director.

  • Nice and inexpensive starter book
This book is a nice book for beginner. A lot of information around the saxophone, a fingering chart for each note. It starts with easy exercises and slowly increases the difficulty of the task. All major and minor scales complete this book. Can recommend it.

  • Cheaper in Store - Need teacher as well
This item is cheaper in the store. I already know Saxophone, but it has been so long that I thought it would be nice to brush up. The only reason this is beneficial to me, is because I still have old sheet music. The music in the book isn't always recognizable to students, so it is nice to have an accompany. BUT IT WORKS AND WILL CONTINUE TO WORK. I used it 14 years ago, and I'm using it again. It is a great product. ... show more

  • Great fingering chart & practical warm ups.
The book has an excellent fingering chart & practical warm-ups. The lesson's pace is great for beginners and gradually gets more challenging.
