Saxophone

The purpose of this Saxophone songbook is to provide the beginning Saxophone player with a repertoire of 101 familiar and easy to play tunes written for Saxophone. All the songs are written specifically for Saxophone utilizing dynamics, expression markings, and articulations. Key signatures for the songs are in a comfortable range suitable for the beginning Saxophone player.

This songbook is an ideal supplement to any elementary Saxophone Method book. Most of the songs are appropriate for performance at concerts, recitals, and contests. Private teachers will assign one or two of the songs from this book at each lesson. The songs will help the beginning Saxophone student to develop fingering technique, rhythm reading ability, and confidence.

This collection features twelve pieces for alto or tenor saxophone solo with piano accompaniment as well as six easy saxophone duets and trios (for either alto or tenor sax duet or trio -- not mixed). The stylistically simple and technically easy motifs and riffs are inevitably attractive and promote lots of fun while playing. All of the pieces in this collection are short and can be used as recital pieces even at the earliest stages of learning. Every piece possesses a stylistically typical melodic turn which, in the course of the piece, is logically developed further in the given harmonic context. Thus the student is not discouraged by having to master a large number of differing stylistic phrases. The piano parts are easy, with the melody shown in C above. Includes piano score and separate parts for alto and tenor saxophone. The '6 Pieces for 2 or 3 Alto or Tenor Saxophone' (without piano) serve as enjoyable training for unison notes as well as purity of tone and uniformity of articulation. Duet and trio parts are written in the pull-out saxophone parts only. Separate parts are not provided for second and third instruments. Language: German/English
