 Here is where you start! Jun 25, 2000
The Absolute Beginners Guide to the Alto Saxophone is exactly that, a guide for the absolute beginner. If you have little or no experience with music or musical instruments this is the place to start. It shows you how to assemble, care for, and blow into your saxophone, as well as showing you the absolute basics to be able to begin to read music. There is a finger chart, and illistrations of the finger positions for playing each note that the book goes through. The CD is extreemly helpful, especially if you are unsure as to how the saxophone is intended to sound. The CD goes through the notes so that you can compare the sound, and it takes you step by step through basic notation. It also helps you get a feel for how to count beats. I have found this guide very helpful for learning on my own. It help in giving me a little direction when all I had was an instrument, an intrest, and a lot of questions.

GREAT BEGINNERS BOOK!! Feb 23, 2001
By PUTRA HASSUNA BIN MOHSIN
THIS BOOK IS FANTASTIC. IT HAS PICTURES ABOUT HOW TO BEGIN AND HOW TO STAND ETC. I AM LIVING IN JAPAN AND IT IS HARD TO GET A BEGINNER BOOK IN ENGLISH. I WOULD LIKE TO TELL ANYONE WHO WANTS TO START PLAYING THE SAX TO GET THIS BOOK. IT ALSO SHOWS HOW TO READ NOTES.....GREAT.

 Good For Beginners Jun 27, 2000
The book is good for beginners because it is a picture book. It is very helpful for those who have a hard time reading music and remember note names.

Absolutely Essential for Beginners - Five Stars! ***** Sep 15, 2007
By Jim Francis
"Jim Francis"
I bought this with several other highly recommended books including "Art of Saxophone Playing" by Larry Teal (also great!). I found this beginners book essential once I actually start to play the sax. It is very clear and practical. It has the best photos of finger positions for specific notes... much better than other books.
You will be glad (like me) to have it right there when you first start to blow notes from your sax...
That's the highest recommendation I can give!

Excellent Mar 14, 2006
By E. Lenhart
Very good for someone who knows nothing, It does challenge the learner. I thought the CD was very handy, however I was unable to install the program so I just made use of the audio tracks.
