French clarinetist and composer, Hyacinthe Klose (1808-1880) is predominantly known for his design improvements to woodwind instruments. However, his passion for the musical family is also apparent in his aids to the learning of the instruments, as in this book, 25 Etudes de Mecanism for Saxophones. This Klose study book covers technical aspects of the Saxophone, including articulation, breath control, rhythm, range and dynamics, among other elements. Compiled by a musician who had a clear enthusiasm for woodwind, 25 Etudes de Mecanism for Saxophones is clearly thought-out and assembled..

Unparalleled in scope, this groundbreaking series for E_Alto and B_Tenor offers a single collection of Repertoire and supporting materials written or arranged specifically for saxophone. With Repertoire spanning from the Baroque to contemporary eras, Recordings, Etudes, Technique, and Orchestral Excerpts, this comprehensive series serves as a balanced and organized pedagogical resource from the beginner to advanced levels of study. Nine progressive volumes of Repertoire expose students to original works and arrangements of diverse styles from W.A. Mozart to Violet Archer, with selected works by notable jazz artist Paul Desmon (Take Five), and living composer Phil Woods. Each level provides opportunities to explore Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and contemporary works, with original, unaccompanied selections from Levels 5 through 8 that use extended techniques such as multiphonics, key clicks, and bisbigliando. Earlier works pre-dating the origin of the saxophone have been carefully arranged with consideration of the unique quality of the instrument. Exposure to these works help to develop musicianship and an understanding of tonality, creating well-rounded and versatile performers. Selections written for both E_Alto and B_Tenor include piano accompaniments that function with both instruments.

“Hello! Mr. Sax seeks to serve saxophonists in their progress on the instrument by addressing, in detail, pitch, timbre, duration, articulation, volume and attacks. These aspects are not merely discussed in their basic form, for elements such as quarter tones, aeolian sounds and different types of sounds which can be produced on the instrument are also explored, among others. The composer, saxophonist Jean-Marie Londeix (b. 1932) studied at the Paris Conservatoire before embarking on a successful concert career taking him all over the world. His position as president of the International Committee of Saxophone and the fact that many composers have written Saxophone works specially for him have cemented Londeix's professionalism and expertise. With this in mind, Hello! Mr. Sax is compiled with much experience and is essential to accompany all Saxophone studies, from beginner to advanced level.”.

“Japanese born Ryo Noda (b. 1948) has been hailed for his forward-looking, avant-garde compositions and innovative playing techniques. Phoenix is no exception. Noda's compositional achievements were significantly recognised in 1973 when he was awarded the SACEM Composition Prize. Phoenix was published soon after, at the height of his career. Exploiting extended techniques on the Saxophone to their full potential, Noda provides a detailed score with instruction. However, a significant amount of interpretation with regards to tempo, pauses and pitch bends is left to the performer. Phoenix is one of many significant works for solo Saxophone by the composer. For all saxophonists, Noda's Phoenix is an excellent, varied addition to advanced repertoires.”.
