You could probably find good sheets of music or good music books at your local music store like cascio. I really don't know any specific music sheets or books you could get though.I suggest music from movies or t.v. series like the simpsons. that's a start???

I like the Standard of Excellence series. It covers all the basics, and more advanced stuff, and everything in between. There are 3 books, and each one's only like $7.

They really helped me, and after only playing 6 months I beat out someone who had been playing for 3 years for the first tenor solo, and since then I've played every single tenor solo we've had all year.

Good luck!
