Essential Elements: A Comprehensive Band Method Book 1 - Alto Saxophone

The "Essential Elements" band method is one of the best band methods in print. Written by a team of skilled experts, this book features 140 short songs and etudes, an easy-to-use fingering chart, a two page section titled "The Basics" (embouchure, posture, breathing, etc.), and a short history of the instrument. There's even a glossary of common musical terms and their definitions. We often use this book in our teaching studios, and highly recommend it! There is a CD play-along recording available separately. We recommend the use of those recordings - the student will be able to develop better pitch perception, rhythmic accuracy, and ensemble playing skills.

Another Product You Might Enjoy

From the "Music Minus One" series comes this delightful collection of easy to medium duets featuring you playing along with (on the accompanying CD) all-star instrumentalist Hal McKusick on alto saxophone and the Benny Goodman rhythm section of George Duvivier on bass and Bobby Donaldson on drums. Designed for the the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year player, these duets are also a joy for the professional because of the great music presented in multiple jazz styles. With the accompanying CD you hear both saxophone parts played in stereo, then each duet is repeated, first with the 1st part omitted and then with the 2nd part omitted. That way you can perform either of the saxophone parts. This natural setting is the best way to learn and experience the time and feel of jazz music. "Easy Jazz Duets For Alto Saxophones - Alto Saxophone (Instrumental Folio)" weighs 8.64 oz.
