2 comments about The Sax and Brass Book: Saxophones, Trumpets and Trombones in Jazz, Rock and Pop.

1. I was part of the original conceptual team for this book and was very pleased to see the final outcome. This book is extremely well-written with lots of great photographs and charts. The focus is primarily on the saxophone, and die hard collectors/enthusiasts will appreciate the factual integrity of the book. I found the pictures particularly interesting, since most (if not all) of the horns pictured were distributed in the UK. Thus, you see some great export variants of the classic Selmer Balanced Action and Conn 10M. I highly recommend this great work to anyone who loves the saxophone.



2. I stated collecting older brass instruments a few years ago and this is a great reference too.
   More pics next edition please.

2 comments about High School Musical (Trombone Instrumental Play-Along).

1. My daughter -- who usually fights with me about practicing her cello -- is excited to learn some music she already knows. Her cello teacher told her that the book was a good way to learn some of the more difficult rhythm patterns, because my daughter already knows what the songs sound like. The CD also helps, although it moves pretty quickly.



2. I'm a college student and played viola for years and just recently started playing the violin for fun. I love High School Musical, even though I am a bit outside of the normal demographic, and so I bought this music.
   It is obvious that Hal Leonard had transposed the music for flute and then just changed the word "flute" to "violin" for the violin book. Even the cd that comes with it says flute on it and plays Bb tuning notes on one of the cd tracks instead of A. Some, if not most, of the songs have upwards of 5 sharps. Now I don't play the flute, but I can definitely say for beginning/intermediate violinists, playing 5 sharps in a fast paced song is no easy task. I thought these arrangements were pretty bad and if someone at the Hal Leonard Corp. took the time, they could be made into much better arrangements for violinists.
   If you have a child who is just beginning or intermediate, I would definitely not purchase this book. Instead, buy the piano/vocal book and just have them play the treble line of the vocals.
