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.

Adaptable and flexible to your unique needs, Solos, Duets & Trios for Winds is a versatile series that encourages playing in a variety of combinations. Featuring three written parts for every song, the arrangements are designed so that the top line is the melody (Part 1), the second line (Part 2) creates a duet, and the third line (Part 3) forms a trio. You can play solo parts alone or form small wind ensembles by mixing and matching instrumentation, as well as mixing the parts played. The accompanying online media includes fully orchestrated backing tracks, PDF files with piano accompaniments, and TNT 2 software, which features the ability to change the speed of the recordings without changing the pitch.
