[Hilary]

This book starts from 'I've never picked up an instrument before' to 'quite good'. I would recommend this to someone starting out who wants to work through a book, particularly to someone who wants to teach themselves. There's some really good songs which make all the difference. In Dulci Jubilo, Sumer is icumen in, The Irish Washerwoman, Walking in the air, The sorcerer's apprentice, Summertime, and many more. This book also contains what we both think is one of the most fun piece to play on the saxophone - The Pink Panther theme tune! Shows fingering, introduces new notes gradually and includes some music theory. Two CDs play performance and backing tracks.
