Resources for Aspiring Saxophone Students

First of all, I have created a line of t-shirts that are fun and motivational! These shirts are great for you or your student musician. Click here to go to my online store.

Here are some of what I consider to be must haves for all musicians and aspiring artists. From Coltrane to Miles Davis to Ron Miles, get these recordings and books for you or the musician in your life. Mouse over the item you like and you can click and buy it! You can even but downloads for you mp3 player. So easy to add music to your collection right from my website.

These are some technique books that I recommend for my students. I have used and looked at all of these books. Move your mouse over the item you like and click and buy. So easy! I recommend my students buy the red Level 1 Standards of Excellence Book. It is comprehensive and succinct.

Here is a list of quality equipment that you will need to get. I use or have used most of this stuff and it comes highly recommended by me for all you musicians and budding saxophonists. If it looks good to you, mouse over to the item you like, click, and buy it. I love Vandoren Reeds for their consistency and ability to work for both jazz and classical playing. Rovner Ligatures are, for the price, the best ligature on the market. I use the light ligature on my soprano and it gives the sound a focus that I love for all my playing. The Dark ligature on my tenor with the Meyer 7 mouthpiece gives me that ’s sound I love. Check it out.
