KJOSStandard Of Excellence for Jazz Ensemble 1st Alto Sax
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single 1st alto saxophone part book from the Standard of Excellence jazz ensemble series, for the student sitting in that chair.
Strong match
Who this is for
- School jazz band players assigned the 1st alto chair
- Directors replacing a lost or damaged lead alto book
- Private lessons working through jazz ensemble literature
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Second alto, tenor or bari players — wrong part
- Anyone wanting the full score or conductor material
- Players with no prior reading experience on sax
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
Jazz ensemble series
Written for big band instrumentation, so parts assume a rhythm section and other horns.
Detail 03
Method-series part book
Exercises and tunes progress in order, so it works standalone for practice, not just rehearsal.
Detail 04
Printed book
Lies flat on a stand and takes pencil markings for cuts, dynamics and rehearsal notes.
Detail 05
$15.99 per part
A full ensemble means buying many books; budget per chair, not per set.

Know before you order
- 01Confirm your director wants 1st alto, not 2nd alto or another book
