With its extensive and diverse repertoire, this tutorial allows you as a saxophonist to access the best of what classical music has to offer. If you choose to work with this tutorial, you will not only broaden your musical horizon and improve your playing technique, but indeed enjoy performing all kinds of masterpieces on your own Saxophone. All the great composers are featured – with one or even several of their works, with concerts, symphonies and sonatas, with lieder, arias and overtures, with Renaissance dances, orchestral pieces, waltzes and ballets, but also with instrumentals such as preludes, nocturnes, etudes, marches, gymnopedies and much more. And in order not tolose your enthusiasm while practicing, each score is accompanied by 2 audio-recordings, which you will find on the mp3 CD attached to the tutorial. In the first recording, the Saxophone-part is played along to the corres-ponding accompaniment. In the second, only the backing track (the accompaniment) can be heard, which gives you the possibility of taking up the score yourself. In total, you are invited to enjoy 174 recordings, which add up to more than 6 hours of musical practice(!).

Saxophone study material that is aimed at musical expression and sound, instead of virtuosity is always in short supply. Most existing study books offer too little opportunity to apply the learned technique for its actual purpose - making music. These New Concert Studies meet the demand for teaching the art of making music. The book contains fifteen studies that put emphasis on interpretation and performance. The pieces have been written by a number of leading composers and their various approaches make practising these studies a good way to widen your musical horizons. The books comes with a demo CD featuring Nobuya Sugawa showing exactly how it should be done.
