The Young Saxophone Player

Young players who are just starting to read music can find it difficult to follow a duet or trio. This book solves the problem with
color coded music,
making it
easy for saxophone beginners
to follow their ensemble part.

 

Students only need to know 4 or 5 notes to play the first duets in this book, which covers
Beginner
and
Preliminary
levels.

 

The music spans a
wide range of composers,
as well as
traditional tunes
from around the world. There is a selection of
festive music,
a section of
rounds, plus there are
warm up exercises,
each focusing on one aspect of ensemble technique. The arrangements by Karen North have been prepared in consultation with
saxophone specialist Camilla Bellstedt.

 

The arrangements work well for
two players up to a large saxophone ensemble.
Many pieces offer maximum flexibility as they can be played as a Duet (use the two upper parts) or as a Trio.
