Things to consider
Start with the audio track that pairs with your instrument edition to hear blues phrasing in context before reading the written exercises. If you're new to blues but solid on your instrument's technique, the alto saxophone edition sits at easy-intermediate and makes a good entry point. The audio component is essential here: use it actively to train your ear to recognize blues patterns and inflections you'll then apply to your own playing.
