Summary: Excellent book for sax players who didn't privately study..
Comment: I bought this book after playing off and on for about 20 years, I decided to start playing seriously, got a pro tenor horn, picked up top tones for sax and bought this book.. I couldn't believe all these tips in this book! My teacher in high school was a master woodwinds julliard grad but he taught us what we needed to know. Some of these things he did mention but there are so many others that aren't. Not even on internet searches and forums you find this wealth of information. The money you can save yourself buying this book, it's priceless. The CD is the icing on the cake, I've read plenty of books and sometimes you wonder, what does this mean... A growl? Humming? The CD actually let's you 'hear' it. I will definately recommend it. It covers so much for so little.
Oh, one more thing.. It didn't get 5 stars because the book is more tailored towards the alto but it is for all saxes.. It doesn't specify.

Summary: Good tips from a phenomenal saxophonist
Comment: This book is a bargain if you only use a few good tips that are shared. I've been playing alto for five years and got answers to questions I just couldn't get before. I studied under two real pro's but a lot of these tips were never discussed. The writer, Eric Morones, is a VERY accomplished saxophonist. I realized this when I bought his other book, 25 Great Sax Solos. He does all the sax work on that accompanying CD and he's PHENOMENAL. Knowing I was getting tips from this extremely talented musician made this 'Tips book' VERY valuable. Of course, not every tip is going to be an "ah-ha" experience, but buy the book if you're serious about being the best saxophonist you can be. Just five or six good tips is worth a lot more than the price of this book.
I've gone back into this book a few times since I wrote the original review a few months ago. This book is GREAT! I have started using LOTS of great tips in this book. It's like having a seasoned Pro mentoring you in your practice. Following the guidance and advice in this book will make you a MUCH better saxophonist.

Summary: Saxophone tips
Comment: This book was both very useful and very enjoyable. I was a serious sax player for 20 years, quit playing almost completely for 30 years, and started to play seriously again after I retired (or quit my day job, whichever sounds better).
There are tips about what to carry in your case, how to buy and maintain your horn, what your should practice, and more. This book contains stuff I knew, more stuff I had forgotten, and more that is new since I began playing again. There is a CD that shows examples and playalongs.
This book is ideal for beginners and serious saxophonists. I recommend it heartily.
