“Considered by Gramophone magazine as 'one of the most astounding players of the day', saxophonist Theodore Kerkezos divides his time between a brilliant soloist career and educational activities that include teaching at the Athens Conservatoire and providing master classes around the globe. Drawing on his long experience, the Greek musician is publishing his Études for high and low notes on the Saxophone to help students overcome one of the major learning difficulties: mastering the upper registers. Organised according to a step-by-step plan, the Études provide a variety of learning options in terms of melodics, rhythm and dynamics, some of which offer a valuable bonus: the choice between several fingerings. The problem of different attacks, often related to repertoire type, is given particular attention. Recommended by masters like Jean-Marie Londeix and Christian Lauba, this 'extraordinary' collection will delight saxophonists who dream of achieving precise intonation and roundness of tone in both the high and low ranges.andrdquo.

“French saxophonist, Jean-Marie Londeix (b. 1932) graduated from the Paris Conservatoire with a First Prize and a Prize of Honour. As a fantastic all-around musician, he has a vast experience which makes his study books, including Scales and Modes, very well-informed. His career has taken him all over the world and many composers have written works specially for him. As an accomplished teacher of other famous saxophonists, he has deduced where the gaps in studies for the instrument are, composing six significant books of the kind. The second volume of Scales and Modes addresses scales and modes over three octaves and broken chords over three and a half octaves. Moreover, fingerings are helpfully included. For all aspiring saxophonists, Scales and Modes, compiled by renowned, contemporary saxophonist Jean-Marie Londeix, is an essential guide and aid to progression of technique on the instrument.”.
