What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Book 2
Assumes note-reading, basic rhythms and embouchure are already in place. It starts where Book 1 stopped.
Detail 03
Included CD
Gives tempo and pitch reference for practicing alone, so a student is not guessing at rhythms between lessons.
Detail 04
Band method format
Written so the whole ensemble plays the same exercises on their own instruments, which is why it tracks a class schedule.
Detail 05
Under $15
Priced as a consumable school book. Expect to replace it rather than repair a worn cover.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm the student plays alto, not tenor — the transposition is not interchangeable
- 02Many laptops have no disc drive; you may need a USB CD drive
- 03No instrument, reeds or stand included — book and CD only
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can my tenor sax player use this book?
No. This edition is transposed for E-flat alto saxophone. A tenor is in B-flat and would play in the wrong key.
02Do I need Book 1 first?
Yes, in practice. Book 2 continues from where Book 1 ends and does not re-teach the fundamentals.
03Is the CD required to use the book?
No. The printed exercises stand alone. The CD is a play-along and tempo reference for practicing without a teacher.
04Does this come with a case or stand?
No. You get the book and the CD. A music stand and the instrument are separate.
