L'évolution de l'enseignement musical conduit les enfants à débuter l'étude du saxophone de plus en plus tôt, souvent dès l'âge de huit ans. Cette méthode est conçue pour eux. Elle s'adresse également par sa simplicité et sa diversité à tous ceux qui, quel que soit leur âge, veulent s'initier au saxophone. Le CD comprenant l'accompagnement de piano de 52 minutes de musique de ce volume permet de développer, dès la deuxième semaine d'étude, une écoute harmonique avec un répertoire d'une grande diversité: chansons et danses populaires, musique ancienne, classique, romantique, langage actuel et improvisation. Nous souhaitons développer l'habitude de la mémorisation par une invitation régulière à apprendre par coeur et en donnant des modèles d'exercices à reprendre sous des formes différentes: lié ou détaché, octave inférieure ou supérieure, propositions de rythmes pour l'agilité, mouvements contraires, etc. Le professeur peut prendre ainsi la liberté de développer les exercices, de les réutiliser ou de les modifier en fonction des besoins de chacun. Habituer le jeune saxophoniste à l'analyse des difficultés et à la réflexion autant qu'à l'exercice, associer en permanence le développement de la maîtrise instrumentale et le plaisir musical, tels ont été nos objectifs. (Christophe Bois et Claude Delangle)

To this day, Eugène Bozza (1905-1991) remains one of the most prolific composers for wind instruments, despite being a violinist himself. His Douze Études-Caprices for Saxophone will enable the pupil to attain brilliant technique on the instrument. During his studies at the Paris Conservatoire, Bozza won prizes for Violin, conducting and composition, as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He then conducted the orchestra of the Opéra-Comique and became Head of the Conservatoire in Valenciennes, whilst remaining a prominent composer. The studies in Bozza's books prepare students for the most difficult rhythms and melody writings. Furthermore, Douze Études-Caprices contains exercises on range, intervals, embouchure, breath control, phrasing, articulation and dynamics, among other aspects. Being Caprices, all Bozza's studies are lively, short and free from form, making for a unique and essential aid in the progression of advanced Saxophone studies.
