 Lots of songs! A few problems though... Jan 09, 2003
First of all, except for "Birthday" a maybe a few others, the parts for alto sax are all the vocal leads in songs, ONLY. The songs are fairly easy to play, and aren't written exactly the way it is played on the cds (some different repeats or note lengths, or in some songs like "Sgt. Pepper" you get harmonies instead of the melody.)
One of my biggest problems is that many of the songs (all?) are not in the same key as the real ones. Playing along with the cd unfortunately is impossible unless you transpose the music to a different key.
However, this book is cheap and comes with many, many songs!
***In addition to this, there is a very good Beatles song book called Lennon & McCartney solos for the alto sax. The parts are well written and have a wider difficulty range than this one. It comes with a play-along cd which will supply the rythym section for you and will play your part on a piano (which you can turn off.) It only has about 10 songs (Yesterday, Can't Buy Me Love, Lady Madonna {my fav song to play and the hardest piece you'll find in either book}, and Maxwell's Silver Hammer to name a few,) but is well worth it.

 Easy to read, Easy to play May 27, 2001
By E. Broockman
"davideb"
Who knew the beatles songs could be so easy to play. Anyone with 2 years of alto sax experience or more can play this easily. It is a big hit at parties etc. and it sounds great to play some of your old favorites.

It makes the struggle of learning a lot more fun!!!!! Aug 02, 1999
As a beginner, this book has built my confidence and given me the opportunity to play songs that I have loved for years. It is very easy to understand and makes all of those long hours playing scales worth it!!!! A must for any music fan.

A Great Selection of Beatles Songs Oct 05, 2009
By Shopper Mom
My 12 year old son loves loves the Beatles. He's only been playing the saxophone for a little over a year and picked this book up and started playing all the songs. I was surprised at how well he played them. He plays them while listening to his ipod so he keeps with the beat. It's a good book for even the beginner player.
Good book, but wrong book. Mar 23, 2012
By Mahler's Ghost.
I ordered this book but received the one with 89 songs. Change the picture to the book you're really offering.
