Book 2 of the three-book saxophone series includes must-hear sax players and recordings, how to practice, equipment tips, and much more. A special emphasis is placed on the Big 5 Fundamentals: listening, tone and dynamics, articulation, rhythm and time, and harmony. The topics include a vast array of exercises and thoughts on minor and blues scales, the blues, chromatic minor triads, and harmony, all with applications to the various elements of technique and improvisation. Written with students, educators and pros in mind, the ultimate goal is to help students learn to teach themselves.
