Saxophone Sight-Reading 1 (Saxophone)

Saxophone Sight-Reading 1 aims to establish good practice and provide an early introduction to the essential skill of sight-reading.Sight-reading in some form should become a regular part of a student's routine each time they get out the saxophone and this book aims to establish the habit early in a student's learning process. There are 8 sections which in a logical sequence gradually introduce new notes rhythms articulations dynamics and Italian terms - much as you would find in a beginner's saxophone method. The emphasis is on providing idiomatic tunes and structures rather than sterile sight-reading exercises. Each sectioncontains several solo examples beginning with only three notes and concludes with duets and accompanied pieces allowing the student to gain experience of sight-reading within the context of ensemble playing.

A fresh approach-This collection of original tunes presents 122 carefully graded sight-reading pieces and exercises in a range of musical styles. Taking an approach based on self-learning the five sections of the book focus on developing different key technical skills as well as introducing the student to a plethora of musical terms.Each section of the book contains solos as well as saxophone duets and pieces with piano accompaniment for practising ensemble sight-reading. Suitable for students of grades 3 to 6.

100 Ultimate Blues Riffs for Eb Alto Saxophone, the Beginner Series by musician, educator and world renowned author Andrew D. Gordon is an exhaustive guide to introduce beginner students to the various phrases or ?riffs? that make up Blues sax playing, both from a rhythmic and soloing standpoint. Due to the continued success of his more advanced book 100 Ultimate Blues Riffs for Eb Alto Andrew decided to author a similar type of book for beginner students. This book is ideal for the beginner to intermediate music student with most of the examples notated in the easier keys. Besides learning how to play Blues riffs the book is a useful tool for sight reading exercises with many different rhythms. The 12 bar Blues progression and the Blues scale, in Andrew?s opinion, the two most important aspects of playing the Blues is explained in detail as well as ?straight? and ?swing? rhythms. There are five sections to the riffs in the book, section 1 contains basic Blues riffs, section 2 contains Rhythm and Blues influenced riffs, section 3 contains Blues/Boogie Woogie riffs, section 4 contains Rock influenced Blues riffs and section 5 contains Gospel influenced Blues riffs. Included with this book is an audio CD that contains all the riffs, recorded twice: first, sax melody, piano, guitar, bass and drums and second just the rhythm track of piano, guitar bass and drums so you can play-a-long. 'Whether reading the 100 riffs or picking them up by ear, the book can have many uses. It is good for sightreading in the style, short improvisational work or developing the ear. The clean, well-laid out books should offer a springboard into further study of the blues and improvisation.' - saxshed.com
