Summary of This Method
Co-written by Philippe Geiss and Christophe Fourmaux, the first "Tout-Petit Saxophoniste" Method offers a clear and stimulating path for young beginner saxophonists. The goal is to establish solid foundations (breath control, tone production, articulation, rhythmic placement, listening) while prioritizing the immediate pleasure of instrumental practice through a large number of pieces.
The book is based on a substantial preamble and 14 structured lessons that guide the child step by step. Musical and technical concepts are approached pragmatically, with warm-ups and targeted exercises, then applied in short and progressive pieces. This alternation between learning and playing promotes lasting acquisition without losing sight of the young musician's motivation.
The musical content is particularly varied: 47 nursery rhymes, famous tunes, and duets, as well as 17 original pieces in solo, duo, or for saxophone and piano. This diversity allows working on intonation, tempo consistency, phrasing, and expression while exploring different styles and atmospheres. The presence of duets also encourages listening, ensemble playing, and the joy of playing together, both in lessons and at home.
To extend practice between sessions, demonstration tracks, accompaniments, and video tutorials are available online, with audio files downloadable. Piano scores are also downloadable, a real plus for creating rewarding musical accompaniment and developing ensemble awareness from the very beginning of learning.
