Creative Saxophone Workbook
'Brilliant value, top quality advice! . . . Features tremendous articulation exercises of swing tonguing and altissimo notes, with demos by Kellie for you to copy.
Develop your high note playing, build vibrato - the end result? A really good sound on saxophone that you can call your own! This book shows you how achieve this, without the jargon or convoluted ramblings. In no time you'll be thinking and hearing in different keys, playing along with the Cycle of Fifths tracks recorded on the CDs and playing through the II-V-Is. There are four transcription exercises for you to have a go at too.
The real danger here is getting out the door, what with the huge ears you'll have after using this book! Clear, easy-to-read text and charts make things clear, with excellent opportunities to practise your new skills with tunes specially written for them. Includes two CDs (one for Eb, the other Bb) so that you can use the book with any horn, which is handy if you're a saxophone teacher or f your friend plays the same key saxophone too.'
