“Owen Broder has taken a subject that has been well discussed over the past several decades--saxophone tone/sound and harmonics. But he has built on the shoulders of those who have gone before, and created a book that is uniquely his own. His first words are, ‘It is impossible to overstate the importance of tone quality on the saxophone. Your sound is your signature, your identity.’ With this starting point he then systematically articulates steps that saxophonists at all performance levels can take to develop, fine- tune, and discover this instrument’s enormous tonal pallet. This book is not about the overtone series. It’s about sound, tone-color and music, and a must read for serious saxophonists.”
Dr. Ramon Ricker
Professor Emeritus of Saxophone, Eastman School of Music
“Sounds Systems is a gold mine of information for saxophonists working to improve their tonal concept. Broder presents material--grounded in established pedagogy--that benefits players in any genre, and at any point of their development. Young students, professionals, and teachers alike will find this to be a wonderfully beneficial resource in their musical journey.”
Taimur Sullivan
Professor of Saxophone, Northwestern University PRISM Quartet
“If you're an intermediate player looking to take your playing to the next level, [Sound Systems] will give you some new views of those basic elements you thought you personally knew, or that you knew how to explain as a teacher. There's also the convenient insert of 4 solo etudes and 2 duets to illustrate these concepts in context.”
Caroline Davis
Performer, Educator, Activist
“In Sound Systems, Owen Broder takes us through the most important and fundamental concepts of tone production. His book is succinct, effective, and easy to follow and extrapolate. A great place to start for saxophone students eager to uncover the ‘mystery’ of creating our own unique sounds.”
Dr. Chien-Kwan Lin
Professor of Saxophone, Eastman School of Music
