I am still plodding my way through a book called one tune a day sold to me by my teacher. At the moment i am playing an exciting carol called o come all ye faithful any suggestions cant wait to get a new teacher and maybe music to make me tap my feet to
.......... At the moment i am playing an exciting carol called o come all ye faithful .......
Just a little maybe but i suppose it has to be done.
Thats a bit rough isn't it surely once you finish one book you return it and then borrow another more advanced one, and so on, thats what i do anyway.sold to me by my teacher.
Thats a bit unseasonal for this time of year isn't it? i would have thought "Summertime" would be a bit more appropriate.At the moment i am playing an exciting carol called o come all ye faithful
I remember one of the best/most exiting at the time was a Jazz beginners book by Hall Lenard, the title slips me right now, or if you really want to get confused.com you can start wading your way through the vast selection of Aebersold stuff thats out there...but like i say very, very confusing or at least they were for me...
Whats your location? if you are in or around the Leicester area i can give you contact details of 2 or 3 really good ones, failing that you can click on "forum" at the very top of this page and go to "saxophone teachers" and pick one in your location..I am on the lookout for a new teacher
Most of these tuition books have well selected pieces that teach whatever the writier wanted to get across at that point in time. However, the tunes are often dated/boring/aimed at kids more than adults.
Have a word with you teacher. There are other more adult books around.
Like the UK, we buy from our teacher. But I also get my own stuff and work on that... Keeps me sane.
I think 'Learn As you Play: Saxophone' by Peter Wastall is an excellent adult beginner book. There familiar tunes in there that aren't 'childish' and the originals are equally refined enough for the adult sensibility, but not very jazz-y.
Excellent progressive studies. Recommended.

I like this book ae well. We have to get the basics right and then the foot tapping stuff. Jim.
