Re: Saxaphone studies (for doubling)

There is plenty of saxohpone material out there. Some material is shared between Klose and Lazarus but it is more useful as over the break practise on the clarinet. One thing to remember is that they are different instruments and you should learn them on their own merits. The tactic is then to learn how to achieve facility doubling. I have heard so much crap come out of the mouths of cocksure classical clarinettists armed with undergraduate degrees who claim that the saxophone is easier than the clarinet. They all claim to be able to play the sax like geniuses (genii) because it is such an easy instrument (all b*llsh*t) but most of them have no idea whatsoever. Treat the saxophone as a real instrument with its own technique, nuance, tone etc. and then you will be able to call yourself a doubler.
