well, if you go to just about any music store..this is the best for beginners...go to a music store and get book called STANDARDS OF EXCELLENCE BOOK ONE it has a red top with a french horn and medal on the front - its such a good teacher, it gives you song pieces to play and gradually introduces you to notes and gives you correction and gradually increases in difficulty once your finshed with it... they have BOOK TWO which has the same picture on a blue top....this book can be purchased just about anywhere in the states

The Standard of Excellence books have a CD which you can also buy, and will give you a very good grounding in orchestral playing.
However, if you e-mail me what kind of music you like (jazz, easy listening, pop, etc), I may be able to send you some.

The Standard of Excellence and the Essential Elements are both great books. I learned from Essential Elements... but I prefer the Excellence because it has more content and music.

Hello all!!
Thanks for the advice! My reeds are getting worser and worser. I practise with a thickness 1 1/2. Do you know if that is good?
I keep a piece of music up only with that thickness, when I try the thickness 2, I cannot play a piece of music to the end.

The first book I got for my tenor was Foundations For Superior Performance. I already played the bassoon, so picking up the sax wasn`t difficult. I`m a freshman in high school and had to learn it for marching band.

I have found that the Yamaha Band Method helps alot when you are first starting. I started 3 years ago in 5th grade on alto. I now play bari in the school concert, pep, and jazz bands. I play alto in my park district`s summer band in the summer.
