The Korena take

The 2nd tenor saxophone part book from Kjos's Standard of Excellence jazz ensemble series. For one player covering that chair in a big band.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Student filling the 2nd tenor chair in a school jazz band
  • Directors replacing a lost or worn 2nd tenor part
  • Building out a band library one part at a time

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone needing the full ensemble set — this is one part
  • Alto, bari, or 1st tenor players; wrong book
  • Players wanting a general saxophone method rather than ensemble 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 01

2nd Tenor Sax part

One chair only. The 1st tenor line is a separate book, as is every other instrument.

Detail 02

Jazz Ensemble series

Written for a full big band, so the part assumes other players are covering the rest of the chart.

Detail 03

Standard of Excellence line

Kjos's school band series, sequenced for classroom use rather than individual self-study.

Detail 04

$15.99

Single-book pricing. A full ensemble requires buying each instrument part separately.

Detail 05

Printed part book

Physical music, so it goes on a stand and needs a folder to survive a school year.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Confirm your director wants 2nd tenor, not 1st — the parts differ
  2. 02No director's score, conductor materials, or other instrument parts included
  3. 03One book per player; a section of two needs two copies

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does this include the other instrument parts?

No. This is the 2nd tenor saxophone book only. Every other chair in the ensemble is sold as its own separate part book.

02Can I use this to learn saxophone from scratch?

It is an ensemble part book, not a beginner method. You need to already read music and play tenor sax before it makes sense.

03Will an alto sax player be able to read it?

No. Tenor and alto are pitched differently, so the written part will not line up. Alto players need the alto book.

04Is a score or conductor book included?

No. The conductor materials are separate. This is one player's part.
