KJOSStandard Of Excellence for Jazz Ensemble 2nd Alto Sax
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The 2nd alto saxophone book from KJOS's Standard of Excellence jazz ensemble series. For a player assigned that specific chair in a school or community big band.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Student filling the 2nd alto chair in a big band
- Directors replacing a lost or worn 2nd alto part
- Sax players wanting jazz ensemble reading practice
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Lead alto players — this is the second part
- Solo practice; jazz ensemble parts assume a full band
- Anyone needing tenor, bari, brass or rhythm parts
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

Big band instrumentation. The part is written to lock with a full sax section and rhythm.
Detail 03
Part book, not a score
Contains only this one player's music. No conductor's score, no other instruments.
Detail 04
Alto sax pitch
Transposed for E-flat alto. Cannot be read by tenor, trumpet or a concert-pitch player.
Detail 05
$15.99
Priced as a single band-room consumable. Budget one per player on the chair.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your director uses this exact series before ordering a single part
- 02Only the 2nd alto part is inside — every other chair needs its own book
- 03Softcover method book; expect wear in a gig bag without a folder
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this include the other saxophone parts?
No. It is the 2nd alto book only. 1st alto, tenor and baritone are separate purchases.
02Can a tenor sax player use this?
No. Alto is an E-flat instrument and tenor is B-flat, so the transposition is wrong.
03Do I need one book per student?
Yes. Each player reads from their own part, so two altos on the chair means two books.
04Is a conductor's score included?
No. This is a single player's part. The score is a separate item.
