Learning a new instrument is exciting! This book will show you how to play the <strong>jSax</strong> through lots of fun tunes.<br />
Don’t forget to ask your teacher if you have any questions.<br />
If you take your instrument home to practice, is there someone in your family you could teach to play? Try<br />
making your own tune and give it a fun title!<br />
Look for these questions throughout the book. Can you answer<br />
them all?<br />
How it works!<br />
You will see some references throughout the book for various materials that can be viewed or downloaded for<br />
free from the WindStars website – www.nuvo-windstars.com.<br />
Each tune has a backing track (music only) and a practice track (with your part). When learning to play tunes,<br />
you will find it helpful to listen to and try to play along with the practice tracks.<br />

Windy Returns!<br />
Windy is an aspiring aviator who always wears a helmet, goggles and an over-sized flight jacket. Windy has<br />
a dream to fly around the world, but is too young for such an adventure. In the meantime, music is the focus.<br />
When the time comes to take off, music will be the universal language to connect with the people that Windy<br />
will meet along the way. You will see Windy throughout WindStars 2 going on adventures and making new<br />
friends.<br />
Can you spot two jHorns?<br />
