10 Rhythmic & Progressive Etudes for Saxophone

These ètudes are intended for advanced high school students. Each etude focuses on a specific idea/concept meant to challenge and further the advancing saxophonist’s mastery of various rhythms and rhythmic concepts. My hope is that these etudes provide another resource for saxophonists in a fun and challenging medium. The first three etudes are featured below, and a downloadable pdf book can be purchased for $15 here.
