4.0 out of 5 stars Still relevant after twenty years!, 10 Jan 2002
By A Customer
I had an alto saxophone as my Christmas present and this book is just great! It may have been around for twenty years but it is still relevant to today's pupils.
This tutor book is broken down into units. Each unit introduces an idea and then there are exercises and some music to try out the new note, fingering, rhythm or whatever.
I have been able to move fairly quickly through the units without any other help - I haven't arranged any lessons with a music teacher yet. I'll just see how far I can get with Peter Wastall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Saxophone starter book, 26 Aug 2003
I bought five starter books when I started to try and teach myself (at the age of 50+) and this one is by far the best. It takes you through very sound progression up to around grade III, and you will be comfortable playing along with the music on the CD available (extra) to go with this. I had only a little music knowledge before starting and this sets out the different notes, timings, keys etc in a progressive way, which I found only made me want to learn more, rather than being daunting. I felt that this was the only book that I bought which was giving me a sound basic education rather than just quickly learning to play a couple of tunes. Very very highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Learn as You Play Sax, 18 Jun 2009
By Little Wayney "Wayney" (North East England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Learn as You Play: Saxophone (Paperback)
This book is simple to read and understand. It is broken up into units which have exercises, information and interesting pieces to play. I tried using the book without the CD and found it difficult. Using the CD along-side the book allows you to listen to the exercises,hear new notes and the best part is playing along to either piano accompaniament or with another sax.

I have recommended this to several other adult students who have enjoyed working through it.
