This item so much better than I anticipated! It is great for beginners and taught my child all the basics for playing his instrument.

  • Nice and inexpensive starter book
This book is a nice book for beginner. A lot of information around the saxophone, a fingering chart for each note. It starts with easy exercises and slowly increases the difficulty of the task. All major and minor scales complete this book. Can recommend it.

  • Perfect for beginners!
I learned how to play 5 different instruments with these books when I was in school. And now I’m using them to help someone else learn. Love them!

  • Cheaper in Store - Need teacher as well
This item is cheaper in the store. I already know Saxophone, but it has been so long that I thought it would be nice to brush up. The only reason this is beneficial to me, is because I still have old sheet music. The music in the book isn't always recognizable to students, so it is nice to have an accompany. BUT IT WORKS AND WILL CONTINUE TO WORK. I used it 14 years ago, and I'm using it again. It is a great product. ... show more

I bought this and several others from this series. I am a volunteer at a middle school band department and these are the ones used by the very knowledgeable band Director.
