Easy Steps is a two-volume method designed to provide the beginning saxophonist with all the essential tools from the very first lessons. The approach is both structured and playful: it includes targeted exercises to establish solid technical foundations while keeping the joy of playing at the heart of learning. Thanks to a richly illustrated presentation, progression becomes more intuitive, making it a particularly effective resource for regular practice at home as well as in lessons.
Throughout the pages, the method offers numerous pieces and musical activities, with games and real-life situations that stimulate listening and responsiveness. Significant emphasis is also placed on ear training and ensemble playing: essential areas for developing a sense of rhythm, intonation, musical understanding, and the ability to play with other musicians. This variety of content allows the teacher to vary sessions and maintain the student's engagement while consolidating skills.
The included CDs enhance the educational experience: all pieces have accompaniments, and some are also recorded in full versions to clearly hear the expected result. This is a major asset for working on phrasing, balance, timing, and style. Finally, online access to the materials is included, providing practical continuity between lessons, rehearsals, and daily practice.
