Publisher's Synopsis
Many instruments are versatile, but some are more suited to certain types of music. Although there is some classical repertoire for the saxophone, for example, people associate it more with jazz, and it is not a permanent feature of many orchestras. Some instruments may lend themselves better than others to the music you like, so consider this before you start. This book covers the 3 big questions people ask as beginner music students: why play music? what's the best way to learn? what do I need to get started? Also included are practice tips and and other techniques to guarantee success.
