I really need some help finding a couple of songs that a beginner Saxophone player can play....  My nephew is learning how to play it and i'm looking for songs for him... He's really learning fast...  Any help would be great.

Hey, Keynote!  Beleive it or not, "Amazing Grace" was one of the first sax solos that I played in church too! ;D

Broraj, I would suggest that your nephew play songs that are simple and catchy.  Especially songs that are familiar to him.  That way, it will be easier for him to learn.  Tell your nephew to keep up the good work, and know that we are praying for him - that God will continue to use and anoint him to play for the glory of God!

Be Blessed!

get a beginner sax technique book (1 & 2).
check the hal leonard online catalog for the 'praise and worship' alto sax (or tenor) book/cd...good practice/performance tunes.

Dfwkeys,

That's wonderful!  How does it feel to pick up the sax again?  Like riding a bike?

Be Blessed!
