Summary of This Book
This collection with CD is aimed at alto saxophonists wishing to consolidate their skills and gain autonomy. Thanks to a "book + audio" format, it allows moving from solo practice to a more lively experience: playing with accompaniment helps stabilize tempo, better manage breathing, and refine articulation. The volume of pages offers rich material to build an effective routine, whether in lessons, conservatory, or personal practice.
Written by Jaap Kastelein and Karl Veen, the work focuses on concrete objectives for the intermediate level: smoother reading, rhythmic precision, sound control, and interpretation. The CD serves as a reference and motivation, encouraging step-by-step practice and transforming exercises into music. A relevant choice to develop endurance, refine phrasing, and prepare for more demanding playing situations (ensemble, auditions, repertoire).
