Beginners’ Tunes for Saxophone

Tunes

Every now and again a friend of mine brings their son or daughter (who is learning the saxophone at school) round, and they have to play for me. I ask them what tunes they know and they seem to only have some tunes from their grade 1 or 2 which they find very boring. So I teach them this tune, and they love it. This is one of those tunes that everybody knows, but not many people know what it’s called, apart from "The Snake Charming Tune". Actually it is not played by real snake charmers, neither is it even middle eastern in origin. It has had several titles, but this I call this version "Little Egypt"
