âConsi
dered 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 Ãtudes
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
Ãtudes 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.
