Hal LeonardRubank Advanced Method for Saxophone Volume 2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Instrument-specific advanced sax method book, second volume. For a saxophonist past the beginner stage who wants structured technical study rather than song collections.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who finished Volume 1 and want the next step
- Private lesson students needing a standard assigned method
- Self-directed practice with graded technical exercises
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- First-year players — start at a beginner method instead
- Anyone wanting popular songs or playalong tracks
- Clarinet, flute or brass players — this edition is sax-only

Detail 02
Volume 2
Continues where Volume 1 stops. Jumping in cold means skipping the material it builds on.
Detail 03
Written for saxophone
Ranges, keys and fingerings are sax-specific, not a generic band book transposed.
Detail 04
Under ten dollars
Cheap enough to buy alongside a lesson book rather than instead of one.
Detail 05
Print book
Lays flat on a stand and stays put; no app, login or device needed to practice.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01You'll want a music stand — this is stand-height practice material, not a lap read
- 02Volume 1 is the prerequisite; buy it first if you haven't worked it
- 03Sax-specific edition — check the instrument name before ordering for a student
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need Volume 1 first?
Yes, in practice. Volume 2 continues the same sequence, so starting here skips the groundwork the exercises assume.
02Does this work for alto and tenor?
It's written for saxophone generally, so the notation reads the same on alto, tenor or bari — the sounding key differs, the part doesn't.
03Is this for beginners?
No. It's the advanced level of the series and assumes solid reading and tone already.
04Are there any playalong tracks?
This is a method book of exercises and studies. For backing tracks, look at the playalong titles instead.
