This is perhaps the best and most comprehensive video I have ever seen covering all aspects of the saxophone. Although at almost 2 hours long, it is a bit unwieldy to watch in one setting, but it can easily be digested in 30 minute segments. Below I have written out an index of topics for the first 30 minutes. I will add the rest as time permits. Any other member is welcome to index a 30 minute segment, and I will be happy to include it in this original post. Enjoy!
