Scales included are: majors with tonic arpeggios, harmonic minors with minor arpeggios, melodic minors with tonic seventh arpeggios, chromatics, whole tones with augmented arpeggios, octatonics (diminished scales) with diminished seventh arpeggios, pentatonic and blues scales.

It should precede the Saxophonist's Workbook (below). It covers posture, hand and finger position, embouchure, breathing, intonation and ear training, vibrato, articulation, tonal shaping, scales, chords, arpeggios, and more. The size and format of this book make it more suitable for use in lessons than the author's The Art of Saxophone Playing which has more detailed coverage of these concepts.	11.95
