Overall Difficulty: Beginning
In Alto Saxophone Basics you will learn eight songs in various keys and styles. Starting from the very basics of putting the saxophone together and learning the embouchure, you will then be guided through the proper way to find and play each note. The included Play-Along-CD will allow you to have a great deal of fun and enable you to perhaps give a small concert at home for friends and family. This book concerns itself with the alto saxophone only, but once you have mastered one of them you will be able to convert to all of the instruments in the saxophone family as they all use the fingerings and technique.
