A good teaching tool.
I've played sax for over 50yrs. This book is exactly what I wanted to teach the grandkids with. Easy to follow and the progression of lessons is very important.

Great Book for Beginner
I decided to try playing the tenor saxophone recently. When my daughter began playing the French horn a few years ago, this is the book her teacher started all of the students out on so I figured it would work for what I needed. I was right. It has fingerings and little songs to play to learn on. It was exactly what I was looking for. ... show more

Great Saxophone for Beginners
I use this for myself and our school district does as well. These are well laid out great books for the beginning student. It along with a good teacher will get the beginning player off to a great start. The play along CD is excellent. If your teacher has a code you can also use the sign-in and get more on-line materials. ... show more

Best book for a beginner!
Very helpfull for beginner players! Any book from Hal Leonard will be great for whatever instrument you play! I started out on the clarinet and bought a clarinet book from them. The book gives you about 200 songs to play and fingering charts to help the beginner! Very nice experience!

Pretty basic, but gets the new player started
Very slow introduction to playing the tenor. The book goes with a class I am taking. The class goes the speed of the book, so the slowness of the book is OK. Pretty basic, but gets the new player started.
