Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can a tenor sax player use this?
Not as written. The parts are in E-flat, which suits alto and baritone. Tenor and soprano are B-flat instruments and would need transposition.
02What is on the CD?
Audio accompanying the 48 studies.
03Is this for beginners?
It assumes you already read music and have basic tone control. A first-week player would be better served by a method book.
04Are these songs or exercises?
Studies, meaning etudes written to work specific technical skills rather than pieces meant for performance.
