I've decided to start learning the alto saxophone... and I was wondering what's a good book to start with?

I hope to get lessons as well, but I need a good beginners book to help me learn it.

go to your nearest music store and purchase an essential elements book 1 for alto sax, later after uve mastered book one, u can buy books 2 and 3 if u choose. good luck!

I think Standard of Excellence is a good book, personally. I've also used Accent on Acheivement (they're cool because they come with a play-along CD if you need help).
