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.
