Tineke Postma: "...Very nice book! Reading it, really feels like you've been playing the saxophone all your life...Solid advise from begining to end!.."

Michael Karn: "...I'm definitely impressed. I think you do a very good job explaining things, and your use of metaphors and your general sense of humor are very effective. Also, the way you emphasize "the journey", and to take it slow and enjoy the process as long as it may be I liked very much. All in all a great job!..".

Steve Neff: "..An inside look into the foundations of great saxophone playing...".

Susanne Alt: "...Very nice! Especially the chapters on practicing mindsets and motivation techniques are virtually nonexistent in other methods...".

Emiel Wienholts: "...I'd seriously recommend this material for any serious saxophone player, as well as other instrumentalists. This book contains top notch instruction on how to master one of the most amazing instruments ever designed, as well as providing valuable insights on practicing and playing in general!...".

"..Hi James, the book is great! Your English is brilliant! and thank you for sharing. I haven't yet put it into practice as I am without the use of my left hand since I broke it two weeks ago, but I can't wait to try things out, I love the title too!..''

A rare gem! I tried and tested your book, and after 40 days I'm already beginning to hear some cool improvements. Which was quite surprising to me. I've played the sax 4 years and while reading your book my first reaction to many of the ideas explained in it was:" I've sort of heard this before", However, as I started doing the exercises I began to notice how much the power of this work is in the details. As I began to do the exercises, especially the ones that seemed to me at first like....common that couldn't possibly make any difference.... To my surprise I found them to be real "aha" moments.
