H. Voxman & William Gower : Rubank Advanced Method - Saxophone Vol. 2

An Outlined Course of Study for Advanced Saxophonists - Rubank Educational Library No. 181

Introduction :

(Woodwind Method). Published by Rubank Publications (HL04470380), Rubank Advanced Method - Saxophone Vol. 2, edited by world-renowned woodwind educators H. Voxman and William Gower, continues the rigorous, highly acclaimed curriculum established in Volume 1. This 88-page masterwork completes the advanced technical syllabus by delving deep into complex key signatures (including Eb, Ab, E, and B Majors along with their relative minors). Designed to elevate saxophonists to collegiate and professional performance standards, Volume 2 systematically covers advanced scale and arpeggio dexterity, intricate articulation patterns, interval leaps, ornamentation, contest-level duets, and solo performance preparation. It remains an essential cornerstone for advanced high school students, conservatory candidates, and woodwind specialists worldwide.

Product Features :

• Advanced Key Expansion : Volume 2 focuses comprehensively on challenging keys (Eb, Ab, E, B Majors and relative minors), building complete finger fluency across the entire saxophone range.
• Contest-Level Duets : Rich in sophisticated musical duets that refine chamber balance, subtle intonation adjustments, and complex rhythmic synchronization.
• 6 Contest-Level Solos Included : Features full-length, audition-ready classical solo literature ideal for advanced festivals, recitals, and jury examinations.
• Virtuosic Technique & Articulation Studies : Specialized drills focused on altissimo control, rapid palm key transitions, double-tonguing concepts, and awkward chromatic intervals.
• Advanced Ornamentation & Style : Masterclass-level guidance on historic embellishments, trill keys, turns, and nuanced stylistic interpretation.

Performance Tips :

• When tackling the advanced key studies in Eb, Ab, E, and B Major, practice slowly with a mirror to monitor unnecessary finger lifting over the side and pinky keys.
• In the duet movements featuring complex rhythms and contrapuntal lines, both players should maintain precise pulse subdivisions to ensure clean entries during syncopated passages.
• Tip : For high-register and palm-key exercises, focus on a stable, open embouchure and consistent air support rather than biting down on the mouthpiece to achieve clear intonation.
