This 138-page eBook includes every single possible configuration of pitches in every major scale, spanning within an octave. All exercises are taken through the full range of the horn, with the lowest note being a B♭, and the highest note capping at high F# before the altissimo register. It is strictly diatonic, so let this serve as the foundation before diving into chromaticism.
A flaw I’ve seen in many technical studies books for saxophone is that they never include their exercises in the full range of the horn. They also rarely include their exercises in all 12 keys. This is problematic, because it harbors insecurities very early into the player’s facility. Due to this, many people feel panic when they see the key of F# major, or passages that include palm keys (top register of the horn) or spatula keys (the bottom register of the horn). The goal should be that all tonal centers feel relative to each other, and no fingering or note combination on saxophone will intimidate you.
