Gidday everyone. This is not a Linux topic but I'm sure there must be
some saxophonists amongst you.
I need to get some more intermediate level Saxophone music for teaching
purposes. I've got some good James Rae books and have been getting the
best stuff out of Fake books but good music is hard to come by. Very few
sax players want to learn classical and lots of the jazz stuff gets hard
pretty quick.
Any advice for books? Heck, even throw me the name of a good theme tune
so that I can write it out. I always like using the Indianna Jones theme.
Cheers.

Hi Glenn,
I'm a professional saxophonist/saxophone teacher. I would
recommend the Universal Method for Saxophone by Paul DeVille, published
by Carl Fischer. It's the "Bible" of large saxophone studies, dating
from 1908. The Marcel Mule series from Leduc is excellent, too. If you
have any other questions you might want to E-Mail me directly, as this
is pretty off-topic for a Linux group. Happy 2005!

Hi, thanks for the reply. After 2 1/2 weeks I figured you may be willing
to answer a couple more questions.
Does the Universal Method for Saxophone go up to an advanced level. I
have a student who's just gone through the Abracadabra book for sax and
I want to get him on to something solid rather than just photocopied
music. Does this book progress to an advanced level and does it have
more than just exercises? What style of music does it include i.e does
it revolve around classical, jazz or does it mix.
The other question is, do you have any recommendations for Sax solo
performance books or pieces. James Rae writes some some fine 1-2 pages
solo pieces of varying difficulty and style. If you haven't heard of
him, look him up. 20 Modern Etudes for Sax, or 40 Modern Etudes for
Clarinet is a real beaut (I'm really a clarinetist doing sax). More
music like that is what I'm after.
Perhaps I should just write my own. Gosh, how long have I been saying that.
Thanks,
Glenn
