1. Not every copy of this book contains bonus DVD. Buyer and seller beware "Watch out for the small print". "Heading Listing" for this title is very misleading. Should contact seller before purchase to confirm inclusion of DVD.

5 comments about Essential Elements 2000: Comprehensive Band Method : Tenor Saxophone, Book 2.

1. I love this book. It is so easy to find a song you want because of the Song Index in the back of the book. I really enjoy using this book with my Clarinet.



2. Just what we needed. The DVD and CD that accompany it are very useful. A Great product. Recommended and used by our band director at school, and by our private instructor. GREAT!



3. Like the first book in this series, this one stretches your ability and demands more practice. Use it to get better and stay in touch with the basics. Very useful tool, and a must have for any clarinist.



4. I ordered this book on Saturday, and it arrived Monday! It is in excellent condition, and we are looking forward to using it. There is a lot of information, which looks clearly set out.



5. this book is really helping me get back into playing, since I havent played in about eight years. Its alot of help.

4 comments about The Cambridge Companion to the Saxophone (Cambridge Companions to Music).

1. This book tells you all you need to know about the saxophone; from it's creation and Adolphe Sax, to techniques, players, and music. The chapters are written by different people, including Gordon Lewin, Dave Roach, Kyle Horch, Don Ashton and Richard Ingham himself; all reputable people in the saxophone business.



2. This book is truly good as a reference. It is written in a scholarly manner, and it is not oriented towards performance, but rather it covers issues such as the instrument's history, its evolution and the classical repertoire. It also has several very detailed chapters covering the relationship between the saxophone and jazz.

   It has certainly made me more saxophone-literate, but it has yet to improve my playing!




3. The title of the book makes it sound like a general reference book on the saxophone. Instead, it's more like a collection of idiosyncratic essays with a distinctly nationalistic point of view. If it was going to be a useful reference work, one thing it would need is a good index, with entries broken down better. ("Reeds," for example., gives a list of 20 page numbers without subheadings.) Loads of space is given to obscure English saxophonists and composers. Many of the articles need fleshing out, e.g. the part about mouthpieces doesn't say anything about the numerical system used to describe them. It's also topheavy with advanced stuff,e.g. a chart of altissimo fingerings and discussions of microtones, but no ordinary fingering charts or trill fingerings. Classical players had better not depend on this book as an introduction to jazz, since it doesn't discuss any of the jazz issues about tonguing or triplet feel.



4. When I bought this book I thought it would be more of a general reference book. However, it is more essays on the history of the saxophone and the more technical aspects of playing. Recomended for teachers more than students.

1 comments about Jazz Saxophone Duets.

1. As an intermediate player, I'm called upon to sight read on many sub gigs. This is very hard for me because I took a 27 year break from music and never was a strong sight reader. Greg's duets force me and my wife to concentrate both on counting and articulation. It's slow going, but will pay off if we keep at it. And it doesn't hurt that the lessons build on each other and are fun to play to book. Every once in a while you say to yourself, "Hey, that's a Charlie Parker riff or some such." It's like finding treasure. Thanks for doing this Greg!
