Hal LeonardRubank Selected Duets for Saxophone Vol 1 Easy/Medium
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A book of two-part saxophone duets at easy to medium difficulty. For students who want playing partners rather than more solo exercises.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Two sax students in the same section practicing together
- Lesson time where teacher plays the second part
- Building ensemble timing and intonation outside full band
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Solo players with nobody to play the other part
- Beginners still learning to read basic rhythms
- Players wanting concert solos or audition repertoire
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
Easy/Medium, Volume 1
Entry point of the duet series. Starts accessible and gets harder through the book rather than staying flat.
Detail 03
Selected Duets format
Compiled pieces rather than a graded method. Supplement to a method book, not a replacement for one.
Detail 04
Saxophone edition
Written for the sax, and both parts sit in comparable ranges so players can swap first and second.
Detail 05
Print book at $9.99
Priced as supplemental material. Expect a thin paperback, not a hardbound collection.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Needs a second player — one copy on a stand between two people is typical

- 03Volume 2 is the harder continuation; make sure you're ordering the right one
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I play these alone?
Not as written. Each piece is two interlocking parts, so a solo player only ever hears half the music.
02Do alto and tenor players use the same book?
Yes. The parts are written for saxophone generally, so two players on different-size horns can read from the same edition.
03How hard is Easy/Medium?
It suits players a year or two in who read comfortably in the staff. The early duets are approachable and difficulty builds through the book.
04Do I need two copies?
One copy works if both players share a stand. Two copies are easier if you sit apart or want to practice separately.
