Features: There are many people learning to play the saxophone now, mainly because this instrument has a beautiful and pleasant tone, and it is also the easiest to learn among all wind instruments with quick results. During my teaching process, I found that some students are eager to play pieces, and this feeling is understandable. However, if a solid foundation is not laid, even if they can play some simple pieces, the sound will not be pleasant. There are also students who start practicing with graded examination materials from the beginning, which is also wrong. It is not appropriate to play graded examination materials without basic skills. This textbook starts from the basic methods, from scratch, gradually deepening, laying a solid foundation for playing more difficult pieces in the future, and making full preparation to learn the saxophone well. Therefore, the writing of this textbook focuses on etudes, especially targeting the various difficulties that may be encountered in future learning.
