 Practice Made Easier Feb 27, 2007
By jazmaan
If you've been frustrated by practice books that show you a pattern in one key and then say "Transpose and memorize this in all 12 keys," then this book should make life a lot easier for you.
Jackie spells out all his exercises in all 12 keys. He even notates all the accidentals for you. So with a minimum of mental gymnastics you can get down to the physical gymnastics of drilling his favorite practice patterns into your fingers until your muscle memory takes over.
By placing equal emphasis on all 12 keys from the very beginning, this book will get you all around your horn with maximum efficiency. Many of the exercises change key twice per measure, so you have no opportunity to get stuck in a "easy key" rut. Instead you'll find yourself adopting a "wholistic" mindset as Maclean runs you through the major, minor, dominant, diminished and augmented scales.
My only nitpick is that a CD would have been nice. But the patterns aren't rhythmically complicated or hard to read so I guess a CD isn't really necessary. Also you should know that this is a fairly short book. The idea is that once you've got them thoroughly memorized you'll be able to run through the whole set of patterns in 45 minutes and they'll become your regular warm-up routine.
Two of Mclean's most popular original compositions are included at the end of the book as a bonus.

 THE Warmup Book Mar 18, 2008
By J. Hoover
"chicagojosh"
The exercises contained in this book have started off all of my practice sessions for the past decade. The exercises are designed to work together in order to work the full range of your instrument, as well as get your fingers ready by running you through major and minor scales, along with major, minor, augmented, and diminished chords in every key.
Not only does it give a great way to internalize the mechanics involved when playing scales and chords, it's also a great ear training workout. While I feel that it's important to actually know what notes make up the various scales and chords, actually "thinking" about it while you play just makes the music stagnant. Working through this book on a regular basis will engrain what each key sounds and "feels" like. Internalizing these tools, and allowing them to "just happen" while you improvise, is vitally important when it comes to making your music flow.
Creating music is a combination of both sides of the brain. This, coupled with a good book of etudes (Klose's "25 Daily Exercises for Saxophone," is my personal recommendation,) is a perfect way to hone the left brain in order to let the right brain make with the expressiveness.

Excellent for Musicians, not matter what skill level Jul 16, 2008
By Frederick Helton Jr.
Excellent study guide for learning all of the major scales, plus arpeggios, and so forth. I would recommend this book to any beginner and intermediate musician who wants to be fluent in playing in all of the major and minor scales, while building finger speed.
Start off slow and build up your speed at your own pace is the focus of this book.
