 Excellent technique book from a great human being Oct 07, 2005
By PeterSax
"Pete"
Joe was a wonderful human being. I studied with him at Berklee in the 80's. He was a great technician, and these are the same exercises that he used in his private lessons. These will definitely build your saxophone technique in all twelve keys, as well as improve your sight-reading. There's just about every conceivable kind of exercise in this book. when you've mastered this, go on to his second book: Chord Studies. You won't be sorry. Of course, they are rather challenging, so start slow, and build up your speed. Take a little at a time. Good luck!

Great for Reading May 31, 2005
By Monkeys
This book is great because there are exercisers in every key signature which really makes you work. Working on all of the exercisers were very helpful to me because now a find it much easier to read in different keys. Very good book.

 A lot of scales, no text. Oct 10, 2005
By Peter Hillblom
"/Pete"
I thought this would be a book with some explaining text, but it wasnt. So if you wanna practise scales and dont need any explaining text or input, history, etc, this is the one. If youre looking for a book explaining scales and want some more info, history, ways to learn to remember scales and so on, look for something else.

 Good resource, BUT.... Sep 02, 2008
By L. Powers
"saxdiva"
This is a thorough scale text that I know I'll get a lot out of. Why only three stars? The book comes with a glued binding that makes it nearly impossible to leave opened on a music stand without either destroying the binding, or paying extra to have it re-bound locally.
Publishers, PLEASE consider usability of your products when you re-print. Cheaper is not necessarily better!
