Alto sax method with gradual progression
Easy Steps 1 Altsaxofoon by de Haske is written for beginner alto sax students who want to learn step by step. This Dutch-language method by Jaap Kastelein was developed in response to the need for a more gradual progression, so new notes, rhythms and musical concepts are introduced in small, clear steps.
That makes this alto sax tutor suitable for use in music lessons, with plenty of room for personal interpretation. The clear structure and well-organised layout add extra clarity, especially in the early stage where a calm build-up makes a real difference.
Practical method for lessons and group teaching
In this new edition, the successful Easy Steps series is better tailored to younger users and group lessons. The book is richly illustrated and includes not only exercises and playing material, but also musical games, ensemble exercises, ear-training exercises and medleys of well-known songs.
Accompaniments are available for all pieces, with or without a model version. The online audio has been updated for current use and the matching piano parts are included directly, so you can practise at home and work purposefully with the material during lessons. At Magna Music, you can also get personal advice from staff members who are musicians themselves.
Complete foundation in two parts
Easy Steps is set up as a complete two-part method for the successful training of the beginning musician. This first part has 64 pages and forms the foundation, bringing together playing instructions, notes, rhythms and music theory in a practical approach.
The edition is listed as BOOK plus 2CD plus DVD and has a 9 x 12 inch format. That gives you a clear alto sax study book that works well during lessons and while practising with accompaniment.
