Summary: The Bible for Saxophone
Comment: This book is the widely acknowledged prime source for saxophone information. Every sax player should have it! It brings together a wealth of information about many aspects of saxophone playing that is not available in any other single source. It explains the embouchure (lip) needed to play and even has exercises for helping to develop it. It has a fingering chart including alternate fingerings. It also has a very useful chart of pitch alteration fingerings - if your instrument has a few notes that are flat or sharp (very common), then these fingerings can be used to bring them back in tune with the rest of the horn. The essentials of breathing for saxophone are also discussed, again including exercises for developing breath control. The various aspects of tone control are discussed thoroughly. Also the legato and staccatto techniques and how to properly tongue a note are explained very clearly. Mouthpiece terminology and design considerations are shown. Advanced exercises are also given for "mastering the technique". This involves learning to keep the fingers in contact with the keys, proper hand positioning, etc. Doubling (i.e., playing a second instrument, like a clariniet) is often required of the saxophonist and this is discussed. Altissimo fingerings are also shown, although only the advanced students will be interested in them.

Summary: A Must for Every Saxophonist
Comment: I don't care if you play jazz, classical, fusion, or pop you must buy this book if you're a saxophonist. No book even comes close to the sheer amount of information on the saxophone in this book by the greatest sax pedagogue, Larry Teal. You will learn about sax mutes, reeds, articulation, fingerings, altissimo, technique, history, and tons more. Great for beginners and college students looking for some info on their instrument. Wonderful teaching aid. Highly recommended.

Summary: Besides the pink cover, it's incredible
Comment: If you play the saxophone, you must have this book. Especially if you are a begginer, and you don't have a teacher, this book can explain just about everything you need to know. This book focuses really on the art of playing. You feel like you are reading a conservatory book as you read. Along with this and some practice, you could be playing pro in months! Even if you are like me, playing for years, this book has value. Although sometimes a little begginer talk is included, the book goes in depth on reeds, embouchure, vibrato, fingerings, trills, tounging, solos, volume, etc. The altissimo section shows you fingerings to F, the F an octave above the normal range! And while for a begginer, this range is impossible, it shows that this book will last you a LONG time. Explains how to fix every reed problem you could have, talks all about mouthpieces, and materials. 111 pages of material. You WILL learn something from this book, there is no reason not to purchase it. Learn from the master, Larry Teal, and learn the art of the saxophone.
