Playing & Teaching the Saxophone: A Modern Approach provides a
method for teaching the saxophone that is specific enough to use as
a textbook in a collegiate saxophone methods class, simple enough
for a band director to use in guiding their saxophone sections,
clear enough for adult beginners to teach themselves the
instrument, and deep enough for professionals to use as a resource
in teaching private lessons at any level. The first sections of
this book, Getting Started and Learning the Notes, take a student
in a collegiate methods class or other adult beginner through the
fundamental concepts of playing the saxophone. The In-Depth section
then lays out critical concepts that are essential to the further
development of any saxophonist. As a contemporary guide for
teaching the musicians and music educators of the 21st century,
this method addresses the pedagogy of not only the instrument, but
of the whole student. It includes a diverse array of musical
examples that celebrate communities and cultures around the globe,
and a "Wellness for the Young Musician" chapter offers an overview
of practices that will help students navigate performance anxiety
and avoid injury while playing. Designed to be a lifelong reference
for band directors and private instructors, the book includes
"Hand-It-Over" sections that can be used as student instructional
sheets. These materials, along with video performances and teaching
demonstrations, are also available in the book's companion website.
