Essential Elements 2000 Book 2 - Alto Saxophone Sheet Music
48 pages, Item number 1100188DP, $6.95

"Essential Elements 2000 - Book 2" is the follow-up to the outstanding beginning "Book 1" from the Essential Elements series. This comprehensive band method teaches all of the basic skills necessary to play the instrument and reviews and reinforces previously-learned material. The book features 198 short songs and etudes (from composers such as Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and Sousa to name a few) which are used to learn new notes, rhythms and styles.
 
In addition, there is a section for individual study. (The printed piano accompaniments are included for this section.) As an added bonus, this book features a guide to creating music, rhythm studies, and a detailed reference index.
 
Rounding out the book is a short lesson on music history, a lesson on music theory, a fingering chart, and a compact disc. The CD provides accompaniments for lessons 1 - 55.
 
This book series is clearly the best in its class. We recommend this book (and the optional 2 CD set which accompanies lessons 56 to the end of the book) for all beginning instrumentalists, regardless of age.
