The "Essential Elements" band method is one of the best band methods in print. Written by a team of skilled experts, this book features 140 short songs and etudes, an easy-to-use fingering chart, a 2 page section titled "The Basics" (embouchure, posture, breathing, etc.), and a short history of the instrument. There's even a glossary of common musical terms and their definitions. We often use this book in our teaching studios, and highly recommend it!

Rico Alto Saxophone Reeds - Strength 2 1/2
Rico Alto Saxophone Reeds - Strength 2 1/2
Item number 2100019DP, $14.95

The standard Rico reed is the type of reed that we recommend for most beginning students. The reeds are good quality, without being too pricey. As with all of our reeds, all boxed reeds are at least 10% off list price, and can not be returned.
 
Reeds are typically available in strengths of 1 through 5 (some brands label their reeds as Soft, Medium Soft, ... through Hard). In general, the lower the number, the easier it is to play most notes. The down side, is that the lower number reeds just don't sound as nice, and make it harder to hit high notes.
 
As a general rule, we recommend reeds with a strength of 2 (Soft) for people just getting started, and strength 2 1/2 (Medium Soft) for people who have played for a year (less time if they take lessons). The harder reeds should only be used after using the next softer size of reed for six months to a year, or at the recommendation of a private instructor or band director.
