 Excellent technique book from a great human being October 7, 2005

Joe was a wonderful human being. I studied with him at Berklee in the 80's. He was a great technician, and these are the same exercises that he used in his private lessons. These will definitely build your saxophone technique in all twelve keys, as well as improve your sight-reading. There's just about every conceivable kind of exercise in this book. when you've mastered this, go on to his second book: Chord Studies. You won't be sorry. Of course, they are rather challenging, so start slow, and build up your speed. Take a little at a time. Good luck!
Great for Reading May 31, 2005

This book is great because there are exercisers in every key signature which really makes you work. Working on all of the exercisers were very helpful to me because now a find it much easier to read in different keys. Very good book.

This is one of the finest books of it's kind that I've yet to see. Wonderfully done and should be in every players home.
 Good resource, BUT.... September 2, 2008

This is a thorough scale text that I know I'll get a lot out of. Why only three stars? The book comes with a glued binding that makes it nearly impossible to leave opened on a music stand without either destroying the binding, or paying extra to have it re-bound locally.
Publishers, PLEASE consider usability of your products when you re-print. Cheaper is not necessarily better!
