{"product_id":"playing-teaching-the-saxophone","title":"Playing \u0026 Teaching the Saxophone","description":"Playing \u0026amp; Teaching the Saxophone: A Modern Approach provides a method for teaching the saxophone that is specific enough to use as a textbook in a collegiate saxophone methods class, simple enough for a band director to use in guiding their saxophone sections, clear enough for adult beginners to teach themselves the instrument, and deep enough for professionals to use as a resource in teaching private lessons at any level.The first sections of this book, Getting Started and Learning the Notes, take a student in a collegiate methods class or other adult beginner through the fundamental concepts of playing the saxophone. The In-Depth section then lays out critical concepts that are essential to the further development of any saxophonist. As a contemporary guide for teaching the musicians and music educators of the 21st century, this method addresses the pedagogy of not only the instrument, but of the whole student. It includes a diverse array of musical examples that celebrate communities and cultures around the globe, and a \"Wellness for the Young Musician\" chapter offers an overview of practices that will help students navigate performance anxiety and avoid injury while playing.Designed to be a lifelong reference for band directors and private instructors, the book includes \"Hand-It-Over\" sections that can be used as student instructional sheets. These materials, along with video performances and teaching demonstrations, are also available in the book''s companion website.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57466763247989,"sku":"9780197627600","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780197627600.jpg?v=1785654824","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/playing-teaching-the-saxophone","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
