Habits of a Successful Beginner Band Musician - Alto Saxophone

Habits of a Successful Beginner Band Musician – Alto Saxophone is a field-tested, vital, and—most important—musical collection of 225 sequenced exercises for the beginning band student. The book’s cutting-edge online component, Habits Universal, features a backend gradebook that allows students to submit video recordings of their performances as a primary source of assessment. This gradebook is compatible with PowerSchool, Canvas, Google Classroom, Brightspace, Edmodo, Schoology, and many other platforms! Habits Universal also features supplemental rhythm vocabulary sheets, accompaniment tracks, video start-up clinics, and a professional video coach for each exercise in the book.

What makes Habits of a Successful Beginner Band Musician unique? Features include teacher tips for each exercise, diatonic solfege beginning on the first day of instruction, initial exercises on the reed prior to playing the first notes, sequential rhythm charts embedded in the book, and technique and skill-building exercises woven throughout. Additional highlights include the introduction of Concert C (emphasizing B, E, and A), five keys (Concert B♭, E♭, A♭, C, and F plus Concert G), left and right fingering indicators with chromatic alternate fingering indicators, shaded boxes around first-time challenges, and the use of the “enharmonic ladder” and “call-and-response game” to learn enharmonic notes.
