| | Saxophone Basics |
| | Classical saxophone playing is rarely heard on the radio and is often not the sound cultivated in band; yet, concert bands and marching bands usually require this type of sound. | | | For example, in concert band the saxophones can play as a section. | | | Although designed to augment low voices of the symphony orchestra brass section, the saxophone was first commonly used in French military bands. |

| | At least, that’s what saxophone manufacturers are wont to say of it – I’ve never been entirely sure what a "lyrical quality" sounds like when it’s produced by an instrument that can’t sing. | | | The variety of available saxophones and reeds make it suitable for numerous musical forms, including jazz, rock, middle of the road elevator music and various ostensibly classical forms. | | | Learn from other sax players: Listen to recordings with sax parts, and listen specifically for the saxophone. |

| | New Albion Artists: Rova Saxophone Quartet |
| | In its earliest incarnation in the late 1970's, Rova Saxophone Quartet occupied an obscure little corner in the marginalized world of new and improvised music, challenging listeners to follow complex yet rewarding passages through the thicket of tangled improvisations. | | | Rova toured the USSR again in November 1989, releasing a CD from the tour on the New Albion label entitled, This Time We Are Both. | | | In the years of rehearsing, performing and touring since, Rova has developed from this pioneering experiment into leaders of a new school which might loosely be termed "collective improvisation," in which the seemingly conflicting imperatives of composition and improvisation are reconciled into an original and frequently breathtaking harmony. |
