5.0 out of 5 stars Sax Bible, 6 May 2004

By	"glenhome" - See all my reviews

No doubt about it, this is the most in depth book I've ever read about the Saxophone. It covers the whole family from its birth to present day incarnations. It covers how to start playing, how to hold, where to put the reed right through to why the sound comes out like it does.

It's technical and dumb in all the right places.

Must have book for all sax players, beginner through to expert.

4.0 out of 5 stars Recommended reading, 29 Jan 2003

By	A. Kerensky "FRSA" (Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Teals book deals with the saxophone as a classical instrument and covers essentially everything you'll ever need to know to play competantly. The sections on embouchure and tonal quality are partcicularly informative also this is standard recommended reading for those considering a teaching diploma with the associated board of the royal school of music. Although dated in parts the material is still very practical and relevant. The doubling section looks at recommended second instruments and the adaptions needed. Personally i think this book works well in conjunction with Arbans famous trumpet method. Conclusion, i bought it and i liked it!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Saxist's Bible, 11 April 2008

By	BikerTrash - See all my reviews

A really great book and recommended read for any level of saxophone player. Teal writes with authority, clarity and understated humour. His analysis of every aspect of the instrument speaks of a lifetime's study and devotion, and you will come away from reading this book with a significantly enhanced understanding.
