Product Description

Product Description
"Sxophone Basics" is a landmark method by one of the leading figures in saxophone education. It starts at absolute beginner level and progresses to about Grade 2. There are 22 stages, each section includes a wonderful variety of concert pieces from the great composers, traditional tunes and fun, original exercises, 'finger gyms' and 'warm ups' to help establish a sound technique, 'factfiles' and 'quizzes' to teach notation and general musicianship, helpful, clear 'fingering charts' and 'rhythm boxes' and great illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars By far best saxophone tutorial book on the market, 13 Feb 2008
By swfc (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews
I'd been thinking of taking up the saxophone for a number of years, but every time I went and looked for a tutorial book, I was put off by pages and pages of music scores and repetitive exercises.
When I found this, it was a real breath of fresh air. The book strikes a tone which acknowledges you are a relative beginner, but without resorting to a condescending tone.

The material is great, with a mixture of famous tunes and some original songs to learn to play.

The other really good thing about this particular book is that it tallies well with the pieces you need to play to take a grade (exam) in the sax. It meant that when I was taking my grade 3, I didn't have to go out and buy additional material to prepare.

I've now completed the book, and have fulfilled my goal of beginning to play the saxophone. I'm now planning to get another book by Hampton, with more advanced repertoire.

5.0 out of 5 stars gr8 book, 21 Mar 2009
By T. Staite "TBT1953" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
this book is excellent for beginners. I am 55 and on a whim bought a sax because I have always liked the sound - I bought this book and have managed to play 'the hovis tune' in three weeks. I am amazed. It tells you all you need to know in clear fun ways so that it is not a drudge to learn - you do one page and want to continue to the next. I would recommend for anyone. There is a cd so if you are really clever you can play the sax bits to the background music - sounds really good and inspires you to learn the next bit. Also you can go back and revise and it is still fun.
