"When it comes to musical pedagogy, I’m certainly no expert; but, that being said, the six books of Zinn and the Art of Saxophone, when taken all together, just might be the most comprehensive collection on saxophone technique I have ever seen: wide-ranging in scope, meticulous in detail, logical in organization, intuitive in use, exhaustive, exacting, challenging, inspiring. Makes me want to practice - almost!"

"Dann Zinn is a masterful musician/teacher who has put together a comprehensive and extremely thorough methodology for becoming an accomplished saxophonist. He covers all the bases and has thoughtful explanations as to why one would take this approach. I highly recommend these books for the serious student of saxophone playing."
