A Completely Redesigned Fingering Chart

Redesigned from the ground up, the Beginning Saxophone Fingering Chart was designed from the picture of a real modern-day saxophone. This is important because saxophones have changed significantly over the years and having a realistic illustration of a modern-day saxophone will help you better understand the notes and layout of your saxophone. The fingering chart accurately depicts all the keys on the instrument and even includes alternate fingerings!

When learning an instrument for the first time, it’s important to listen to others play the same instrument so you can emulate a good instrumental sound. That’s why Beginning Saxophone includes high-quality play-along tracks for selected exercises, warm-ups, and duets.

Daily Warm-Up and Technique

Warming up is an essential part of many activities in life. In sports, you need to stretch before playing. In music, you need to warm up by playing slowly and controlled to begin your practice! The Daily Warm-Up and Technique exercises at the end of most chapters will teach you how to begin to help develop your practice session with warming-up and help develop good practice habits.

All 12 Major Scales

Scales are the building blocks of good technique on any instrument and that’s why Beginning Saxophone includes all 12 major scales in the scale index. New notes are highlighted in green and the fingering diagrams are easy to read.
