S369: The Complete Saxophonist by James Houlik and Eric Lauver. Northeastern Music Publications, 2007, SS, 44 pages pages + CD. Subtitled: An essential resource for the serious saxophonist. While this book calls itself a method book and has the the basic information on equipment and care one might expect, it is not a step-by-step method for learning to play the saxophone. Instead it focuses on aspects such as tone development, technical exercises (including alternate fingerings), articulation, and vibrato. It also includes lyrical and technical etudes and a CD with recordings of some the exercises from the book and some artistic performances by Houlik and Donald Sinta.

I Used to Play is a series for adults looking to get back into playing their instruments of yesteryear, and will help jump start their memory and comfort with music.

Each book contains a CD with audio MP3 files of complete performances of most songs, plus accompaniment-only play along versions. The CD also contains printable PDFs of piano parts for practice or performance opportunities. (The CD will only work in computers and CD players that play MP3s). It's just the push former players need to fall back in love with their instruments again!
