Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work for alto sax?
No. Alto and tenor are pitched differently and read different transposed parts. You'd need the alto edition of the same book.
02How do I get the audio?
The audio is provided online rather than on disc, accessed through the book. You'll need an internet connection to stream or download it.
03Do I need books 1 and 2 first?
This is the third level in the sequence, so it builds on skills from the earlier books. Starting here without them will be rough.
04Is this for band class or private lessons?
It's a band method, structured for ensemble instruction where the whole group plays the same exercises on their own instruments.
