Sound Artistry Intermediate Method for Saxophone

Sound Artistry Intermediate Method for Saxophone is a comprehensive resource designed to help intermediate players strengthen technique and musical expression. Part of the Sound Innovations series, it bridges the gap between basic method books and advanced, instrument-specific study.

The book includes scales, arpeggios, technical exercises, etudes, and duets, covering a variety of meters and all keys, along with a detailed fingering chart. It focuses on essential skills such as tone and intonation, embouchure and range development, alternate fingerings, vibrato, flexibility, phrasing, and more—including side C and B-flat, note bending, grace notes, and trills.

Written by Peter Boonshaft and Chris Bernotas in collaboration with Gabriel Piqué of Baldwin Wallace University Conservatory of Music, this method is suitable for soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones.
