  • Cheaper in Store - Need teacher as well
Format: Paperback
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
