Chromatic Transposition of II-V-I Bebop Lines
This project is designed to meet the demands of intermediate to advanced jazz saxophonists as they establish the dexterity of their sight-reading skill in all key signatures. The standard ii-V-I jazz lines of the bebop era are transposed chromatically, covering the full register of a saxophone to extend the technical flexibility. Although the project is designed specifically for jazz saxophonists, it can be used by other jazz instrumentalists who wish to develop their sight-reading skill.
Chromatic Transposition of II-V-I Coltrane Lines
This project is designed to meet the demands of intermediate to advanced jazz saxophonists as they establish the dexterity of their sight-reading skill in all key signatures. Five ii-V-I jazz lines with the utilization of tenor saxophonist John Coltrane’s multi-tonic system are transposed chromatically, covering the full register of a saxophone to extend the technical flexibility. Although the project is designed specifically for jazz saxophonists, it can be used by other jazz instrumentalists who wish to develop their sight-reading skill.

II-V-I Jazz Lines in Fourths Volume I
This volume of the jazz improvisational lines focuses upon the linear constructions based upon the intervallic value of the perfect fourth, and sporadically, the augmented fourth. The non-triadic formula generates ambiguous tonal emphasis, producing comparatively invigorating sonority. The unremitting sequence of the perfect fourths and its inverted version, the perfect fifths is used infrequently to avoid the predictable linear construction. It is recommended that users start the exercises in a comfortable speed and gradually build up the facility to satisfy the technical demands in faster tempos.

Intellectual Sight-Reading Series Vol. 1 Accidental Signs
This project is specially designed for immediate-advance musicians who wish to develop a better mental response and intellectual understanding to accidental signs while reading the music scores. It is intentionally written for saxophone. However, it can certainly be used for all instruments. All exercises are based on "reference note" concept derived from author's psychological studies which helps to stabilize users' mental realizations to each individual note and applied accidental signs.
Advanced Sight-Reading Etudes for Saxophones Vol. I
This is the first set in the Advanced Sight-reading Etudes for Saxophones series, comprising sixty pages of studies to enhance the sight-reading proficiency of saxophonists. The series is designed to facilitate the coordination of the intermediate to advanced saxophonists in the situation that requires great concentration and mental awareness. The benefit of the studies is not limited to the plain sight-reading circumstances, as the familiarity of accidentals will also argument saxophonists’ capability to sight-read and improvise on uncommon keys. It is recommended that users adopt slower tempos during the initiative stage and gradually increase the tempo to gain the dexterity. It is also recommended to use the metronome to assist saxophonists to develop the internal comprehension of the time.
