Level II- Beginning Saxophone Lessons

This course will continue on with learning how to play the saxophone. We will begin on page 14 of the Essential Elements Book that was used in the Beginning lessons class. Classes will be a continuation from the beginning saxophone lessons class. We will practice together, as I demonstrate on my saxophone, proper technique and fingerings. I will also have flash cards to help review earlier taught concepts.
