Attached is the sheet music for my composition "Shtuyot", which appeared on my first cd, First Steps. The form is A B A', where the first A section is in the key of C and A' is in the key of Eb. The B section connects the two, modulating up a minor third in the turnaround.

Solos are over the entire form starting at the first repeat sign (Bar 9) through the end of the form.

Exercise_No_1.pdf

This exercise isolates the intervals of Major arpeggios, moving through the entire range of the saxophone and cycling through all twelve keys, repeating the exercise with the intervals inverted. It is easily extendable to support a greater range but is given here simply for the written range of the saxophone. As discussed in Practice Heuristics, the exercise works all ranges of the horn evenly, extending each arpeggio to its lowest constituent in the saxophone's range and up to its highest. It should be treated as a sound exercise, with emphasis given to intonation, evenness of tone and stability of embouchure.

See minor version.
