  • Nice useful book!
Format: Paperback
Great guide for a relatively inexperienced learner who wants to advance to the next level. Practice exercises are mixed in with actual tunes. Fun, easy to use and yet effective resource. Even though the design and presentation of the cover is very modest, this book is definitely worth buying and working with if you want to improve your technique and broaden your repertoire. ... show more

  • Just Do It!
Format: Paperback
Have only been playing alto sax for 11 months but found this book very helpful in working on scales, tone, articulation and expression. Challenging for my skill level, but that is what is driving me to work hard on these exercises. Also has pieces that you can play along with another as a duet which makes for some fun practice sessions. ... show more

  • On Target
Format: Paperback
This method is old school and it works. It was recommended by my instructor/mentor and gave me more motivation to practice. When I started playing some of the exercises on the first five pages or so, it sounded like a song sort of v. exercises. It made it fun. Get this book at the right stage of your lessons and you should have a pretty good idea of fingering and not need the fingering chart. If you buy this book before you are ready, than the fingering chart like anything else wont make much sense. It could be made better maybe, if there was an outline (syllabus) similar to that of the Advance Method Vol.1 which I purchased elsewhere. Than again there's a method to the madness. I'd definitely recommend this. ... show more

  • Simplified saxophone instruction
Format: Paperback
The Rubank method has been around in schools for years. By this time the instruction is greatly simplified. However, this book is intended for a classroom setting where an instructor fills in the information not included the text. The Rubank method books are not self-instruction material.
