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.

S666: I Used to Play
Alto Saxophone
by Larry Clark.
Carl Fischer, 2011, SS, 48 pages + CD. 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. Its #1 goal is to get people re-acquainted with their
instrument(s) by not only reviewing theory and technique with etudes,
but also providing them with types of music they want to play, like
pop, jazz, and classical tunes. 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!
