RUBANK ELEMENTARY METHOD - SAXOPHONE (RUBANK EDUCATIONAL LIBRARY) - SHEET MUSIC SAXOPHONE BOOK FOR B

Great beginners book with fingering chart inside.

I picked this up for my daughter, who is learning to play the saxophone (a teen). After reading some of the reviews, I was a little nervous that it wouldn't be as good as I'd heard, but my worries were unwarranted. The printing is fine, and the construction is just right to learn to play the saxophone. It builds, step-by-step, and offers the needed basis before continuing to the next stage. I'd read that this one was very recommendable and can only agree. As a musician who has taught children several instruments over the years, I can recommend this book to those who are a bit older and want to really learn how to play the instrument with a great basis.

This book has so many wonderful exercises, duets, and etudes to help improve your technique, learn scales, rhythm and improve your skills as a player. Each page introduces exercises that challenge you more and more in different areas, such as using a particular scale, learn about rhythm and patterns, etc. The student can tackle each exercise at their own speed slowly increase it as they improve their performance. This is a great series of method book from beginner to advance that every saxophone student should use to learn and improve their playing.

Good but not the best because the lessons fingering you have to go back to find what fingering for note. Sorry but Alfred Weber Alto Sax student I found is better. When you learn note it shows fingering for that note at lesson point. This book doesn't. You have to go back to the front sheet to find what fingering for that note and also look to see what note that is.

My son is learning with this book. So far so good

I like it.

I am a band director and have used several method books over the years. The Rubank series was written in the 1930s and still remains one of the best out there. It is simple and logical. It does not clutter the page with images or unnecessary information. It focuses on fundamentals, scales, and fingering options. Highly recommend. There is also an intermediate and advanced method to follow. This easy method however could certainly be used for middle and high school students. The final page is all 16th notes going around the circle of 5ths as arpeggios and their dominant chords.

Great method book. Great service.

Must have for all beginners

Acquistato per lezioni di musica

Exellent livre d'exercices. Je l'utilise tous les jours comme échauffement. J'aime beaucoup la progressivité de cette methode. C'est vraiment bien fait

En effet, mes professeurs de musique utilisent cette méthode de saxophone pour leurs cours de débutant. Elle est éprouvée et appréciée de nombreux élèves…

Elementary is the easy mode for learning saxophone. This book is awesome. It teaches you a lot about whole notes half notes quarter notes I must have booked for novice saxophone players.
