Universal Method for Saxophone

While I'm sure this is "the sax bible" everyone says it is, it is clearly not for someone just starting out. On page 27 (i.e. quite a ways into the book) it says, "Note: It is taken for granted, that, the Student has already made himself acquainted with the Rudiments of Music." This is an understatement.The other problem I have is the print/typesetting is hard to read, and the illustrations are almost worthless. Fingering charts are impossible to read.That said, the book definitely is comprehensive. The spiral-bound version is great. It will stay on my shelf until such time as I improve enough to start using it.

This book literally contains a lot of stuff that can improve your skills.and there are full of exercise in this book that you can literally practice for many years.

The music teacher said this was "THE BOOK" for anyone wanting to know how to play the saxophone. My daughter, 13, is enjoying it and practices on her own without any intervention from me. She enjoys the book.

tons of drills that from basic to difficult. Easy to find several pages of things to work on every time I practice. Get the binder style to make page flipping a breeze.

A SUPERB book full of great excercises and information. There is enough in here to last you for years. The keying diagrams are a little hard to understand but if you are this keen, you'll soon find some keying charts.

Very good but very dry. Not for beginners, you need to know quite a bit about music to fully understand.

An excellent exercise book for advanced students of both classical and jazz saxophone.

Book arrived in excellent condition. As described. My son uses it for private saxophone lessons and is making good progress.
