Basic Saxophone Series is an essential method for beginner saxophonists from one of the leading saxophone educators, Andy Hampton. It consists of the student book, the teacher’s book with accompaniment parts, and a variety of online resources.

The Basic Saxophone Student Book offers a fresh design, clear technical illustrations, fun drawings, new activities, a detachable fingering chart, and of course all the wonderful melodies included in the original series. It starts from absolute beginner level and progresses up to Grade 2, including:

• a variety of repertoire, including original pieces and favorites from every genre
• warm-ups and fun original exercises
• integrated fact files, quizzes, and technical tips covering notation, general musicianship, and instrument care
• helpful fingering diagrams and rhythm boxes
• duets throughout – ideal for group teaching
• a detachable fingering chart to hang on the wall
• online audio (for alto saxophone) featuring piano and saxophone accompaniments to play along with.

A separate Teacher’s Book is also available for alto and tenor saxophone, offering advice on approaching new techniques and motivating young players. These will be especially useful for teachers who are not saxophone specialists.
