80 Graded Studies for Saxophone brings together in two books a broad selection of 18th and 19th century repertoire, with studies by Arban, Baermenn, Blatt, Brod and others. Also included are a number of specially composed studies by Paul Harris.
This second book is a direct continuation of the first and is designed to take players to a late intermediate level. It concentrates on a number of techniques such as tone quality, dynamics, intonation, articulation, finger technique and playing in character. The wide variety of styles also encourages players to pay attention to expression and fosters musical understanding.
