★ A word from the editor
As the title "Superb" suggests, this book contains relatively high-level phrases. Many of the wind instrument instruction books often seen on the market have the words "for beginners" and "for beginners" dancing around, but we thought, "Perhaps there are many people who are already looking for something more advanced?" and decided to plan and publish this book.

However, the two characters of "Superb" actually have another meaning. It means "to the wall of beginners, and to become good." In other words, this book is not just for advanced players, but for all alto saxophone players who want to improve even a little bit. The inclusion of basic exercises to play the "superb phrases" is also based on that concept.

The author, Mr. Seiji Tada, sums it all up with the words, "I hope that everyone will make effective use of this book and become wonderful saxophone players! I would be so happy if I could help you with that." Rock bands, ska bands, solo players who are steadily improving, and all the members of the wind instrument clubs who are struggling with expression, please, by all means, take on this "Superb Alto Saxophone"!
