Features: This volume is a special exercise prepared by the editor for his students. The basic purpose of these exercises is to fill the gap in current saxophone teaching materials, specifically to establish a "hearing-vision-finger movement" coordinated response through chord connections. As students master chords and various variations, they gradually achieve keen hearing, proficient sight-reading, and accurate finger dexterity. Mastering these melodies can serve as a repository of material for improvisation, allowing for subconscious and natural expression during performance. Through dedicated practice in this volume, students can gain very practical chord knowledge, laying a foundation for advanced performance techniques. The training direction of this tutorial is pop music rather than orchestral music. The purpose of introducing this series of textbooks is to provide systematic training materials for saxophone players in China. This volume focuses on chord exercises.
