12 Easy Film Music Pieces for Saxophone & Piano

There comes a time for every musician where beginner music books just aren't cutting it anymore, but intermediate books are just a touch too difficult. Beginner materials can be boring, dry, and slow, and more advanced materials can have a steep learning curve. Whether you, your student, or your child are looking for some interesting material for that first recital performance, or need something interesting to practice at home, this book is for you. It is not a collection of famous pop or film pieces, factory-made to sell as many copies as possible-- it is a book made by a saxophone teacher and lifelong musician, written specifically to meet students' needs with music that fits nicely into a concert program.

Included with this eBook download are 12 pieces for either Eb or Bb saxophone and piano, 12 demo recordings, and 12 play-along tracks for practice at home.

Click on "Preview" to download a demo recording of "New Man" for alto saxophone & piano. Unfortunately the preview is limited to one file, but you can listen to the rest of the demo tracks for free on Bandcamp:

I would like to extend a special thanks to Lilija Russanowa for commissioning these 12 pieces and to Lübecker Musikschule for funding the commission.

I would also like to give a special mention to my former music teachers and professors, all of whom gave me the tools I needed to be the musician and composer I am today. This book would not exist without all of you:

Michael Adams, Jodi Lynn Stowell, Charlie Blood, Mike Sakash, Rob Daisy, Charlie Jennison, Thomas Quigley, Michael Annicchiarico, Peter Hostage, Gary Keller, Stephen Guerra, Phil Doyle, Gary Lindsay, Martin Bejerano, Carlos Rafael Rivera, Jesse Milliner, Jurre Haanstra, & Kaveh Vares

I cannot thank you all enough for your guidance and encouragement over the years.
