Alfred Music Die Kunst des Saxophonspiels

Successful saxophone learning depends not only on personal motivation, but also on competent and pedagogically sound instruction. That’s why saxophonist, studio musician, and educator Larry Teal wrote the time-tested method The Art of Saxophone Playing in 1963—a book still regarded as one of the most important resources in the English-speaking world. Aimed at both teachers and students, this textbook supports and guides both sides toward musical success.

Now available in German, The Art of Saxophone Playing is being introduced to German music schools for the first time. The method remains a forward-thinking teaching concept, suitable for all learners and offering educators fresh inspiration for lesson planning. Individual updates and additions by the translator take into account advances in music physiology, physical technique, teaching methodology, and didactics since the book’s original publication—because a truly effective teaching method evolves with the times.
