Saxophone Journal Articles by Steve Goodson

16 Nov


I was a paid writer for The Saxophone Journal magazine from 2008 – 2013. Here’s a list of my articles which were published there. They are all available as back issues from Dorn Publications. Of course, I have had articles published in quite a few other music magazines in the United States and Europe, but I am particularly proud of this long running series in The Saxophone Journal. I currently write a column about saxophone design in each issue of Saxophone Today magazine
