Look at some of the pieces on the Grade 6 7 8 sax list but for Soprano/Tenor sax of course also look at a few pieces on the DipABRSM list for Soprano sax?




Soprano Pieces

Check out the above link of pieces for soprano sax

Try some solo stuff published by Astute Music, not sure how much soprano stuff they've done, but the solo stuff is great, so you could play it on either. Here is the link: http://www.astute-music.com/online/index.php

Pete Meechan's 3 pieces for solo saxophone are good too.

I don't really know much about classical sax, so no pieces to suggest, but from what I've heard about playing soprano it would be a good idea to set aside quite a chunk of practice time for embouchure and intonation exercises.

Histoire du Tango by Piazzolla (trans. Isoda for soprano sax) is great fun

This publishers website is good for saxophone music - the scores are available to listen to or view before you buy:

Richard Rodney Bennett's Sonata for Soprano Saxophone - if you've not already played it .
