A Complete Approach to Overtones is an in-depth treatment on
overtones for saxophone. The book provides a full range of
exercises and aids to improve the overtone capabilities and overall
saxophone playing for every level of saxophonist. Beginners will
find the aids they need to achieve their first overtones, and
players who can already play a wide range of overtones will find
exercises that improve and expand their abilities as well. "Ben
Britton has put together a comprehensive volume explaining the
overtone series and how to practice with it. A must-have for
serious students of the saxophone." - Charles Pillow, Assistant
Professor of Jazz Saxophone, Eastman School of Music From the
introduction: "One of the most efficient ways to improve saxophone
sound or tone is through overtone practice. Just a minute or two of
proper overtone practice immediately increases the clarity and
richness of tone as well as increases your ability to maintain a
great sound while playing technically difficult music. Regularly
practicing overtones will lead to consistently achieving those ends
and extending your range into the altissimo register. Mastering
overtones can result in a near four-octave range with a consistent
and beautiful sound throughout."
