This page will be dedicated to the saxophone. It is a misunderstood instrument. However, there are some real musicians out there and we will work together to find some great models for our saxophonists. I will build this page with your help so when you find a good video, album, mp3 file, article on playing the sax, etc. send it to me to put on this page.
The first is a selection of the Beethoven Sonata “Pastorale.” Check out the amazing tone quality, intonation, phrasing, articulation, and overall musicianship. If you go to their web site, you can download 4 songs for free. The site is http://www.amstelquartet.nl/

Also check out the two sax quartet videos on my blogroll.

Hi Dr. Andry,
Welcome to the 100 ME Bloggers. If you’re interested in more material for your saxophonists, I plan to write a post every couple weeks or so focused on saxophone techniques and pedagogy in my blog. The address is http://stengel99.wordpress.com.
