    At the beginning it was a bit difficult, but after a while it became easier + it really helped me improve my playing. The play-along is great.

    I love the arrangements even though some are a little too difficult for me at this stage. The accompaniment is great. I have already performed one number for members of our (Probus) Club.I bought the Flute/Oboe book also to give to a friend.

    Unlike the other three books I bought, this one is only for alto sax (so I can't also try the pieces on my clarinet without transposing). Still, the arrangements are nice.
