It's cheap, arrives on time, and is not bent.
It has lots of songs to play and was very straightforward. It had everything you needed to become a pro saxophonist.
Great book! My child just started to play the saxophone and his first book was coming apart. We ordered this one and so far its holding up great after a few months!
To help with lessons at school. So far so good
Great purchase. Affordable. Very easy to follow
Got this to share the learning experience with my daughter.
As an adult who has played several other instruments and knows how to read music, I found this book to be at just the right level. Gives snippets of well known songs or simple classical pieces that increase in difficulty and use the notes learned thus far. New notes are introduced at just the right pace, along with timing details. You will probably want to supplement with a few YouTube videos about proper embouchure, how to get a good sound from notes that trouble you (in my case the very low notes), and for tricky fingerings - but these are readily available.
Easy to follow
