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.

This book is about the perfect saxophone sound. In an easygoing, yet accurate manner, Dirko Juchem explains all effects that a saxophonist should be able to master on his instrument: Professional breathing, embouchure, intonation, vibrato, growl, subtone, false fingerings, high notes, glissando, jazz and rock phrasing are all dealt with in detail and demonstrated on the accompanying audio tracks. Additional session tracks provide the possibility to put the acquired knowledge into practice immediately 'with a band'. Due to the easygoing way of imparting fundamental knowledge, 'Saxophon-Sound' is a valuable addition to instrumental lessons, and even the experienced saxophonist will find the advanced techniques, such as false fingerings or high notes, to be professional practising material. 'Saxophon-Sound' is ideal for saxophone lessons and can be used as motivating accompanying material in addition to any customary method.
