ERRORS FOUND IN TEACHER’S BOOK AND RELEVANT STUDENT BOOK:

 

Lesson 7, Exercise 3 (p. 60): Tenor Sax has a low written E that is not taught until Lesson 17.

Solution: Take bars 3 & 4 and also bars 7 & 8 up an octave.

 

Lesson 7, “Dance of the Jack O’ Lantern” (p. 62): Piano, entire left hand part is an octave too high.

Solution: Take entire left hand part down an octave.

 

Lesson 9, Exercise 3 (p. 74): Tenor Sax has high A above staff, a note not learned until Lesson 14.

Lesson 10, “New in this Lesson” (p. 78): Naturals, which were introduced only in Alto and Bari Sax books back in Lesson 8, now appear in all other instruments in the exercises of Lesson 10 but those student books don’t have a “New in this Lesson” citation for the natural symbol.

Solution (Teacher’s Book): Add the natural symbol in the “New in this Lesson” heading in Teacher’s Book, to read as follows: “More Accidentals (Sharps and Naturals)”

Solution (Student Books): In all student books except Alto and Bari Sax, the natural symbol should be added to the “New in this Lesson” heading.
