Alto saxophone tutor with gradual progression
de Haske Easy Steps 2 Altsaxofoon is a Dutch-language alto saxophone tutor by Jaap Kastelein, written in response to the need for a method with smaller, clearer steps. That gradual progression makes this edition suitable for the beginner who wants to build new notes, rhythms and musical terms at a steady pace.
In this 64-page book, you work with clear explanations, exercises, games and medleys of well-known songs. The layout is clear and easy to follow, which helps during lessons or self-study.
Practical method for lessons and group playing
Easy Steps is designed as a complete two-part method and offers much more than just pieces to play. You also work with ensemble exercises and ear training, so this alto saxophone method fits well in music lessons and group teaching. The richly illustrated edition is also better matched to younger users.
Part 2 includes BOOK plus 2CD plus CD-ROM. The audio contains accompaniments for all exercises and pieces, often with a demonstration as well. The slow tempos make it easier to play along quickly, while the CD-ROM also lets you print piano parts for medleys and twelve trios, including score and separate parts.
Extra audio and useful lesson support
All accompaniment tracks are also available as mp3 files on the CD-ROM, so it is easy to find the right track for the right song and transfer files to an mp3 player. That makes practising in different places much more practical. If you want personal advice on teaching material for wind instruments, Magna Music is a reliable place with staff who are musicians themselves.
With ISBN 9789043133999, a 9 x 12 inch format and publication by De Haske Publications, this is a well-prepared follow-up method for Dutch-language alto saxophone lessons.
