The Concert Band At Home
I came across a short review in an issue of the Clarinet and Saxophone Society of Great Britain's (CASS) magazine, of the sheet music book + backing CD, 'The Concert Band at Home' for alto sax. I found at musicroom.com (and elsewhere of course), that the book has been produced for other wind band instruments.
Although the pieces won't be those we are currently playing - or ever - in concert band (and may even be very - meaning too - easy), I am going to order the alto sax book for me and also recommend it to the other band members, as I think this will help them practice playing in a concert band setting at home, improving their performance in the band (plus the flautists or oboists could turn the CD down, so the brass doesn't drown them out
).
Has anyone tried this volume, either the alto sax one or another edition - it's from De Haske Publications and do they have any thoughts on it?
