For all wind instrument players, Tone/Embouchure, Tonguing, and Finger are three important fundamentals. They can be viewed as independent techniques during training. In other words, when one practices Tone/Embouchure and improves on it, the Finger won't get any benefit and vice versa. Therefore, these three fundamentals should be learned separately.
«The Daily Exercises for Saxophone, volume one», [Scales] and [Arpeggios] focuses on Finger. «Volume two», [Wide leaps] and [Overtones] (Part I) are for Tone/Embouchure, and [Tonguing] (Part II) is a Tonguing course. [Etudes] (Part III) and [Technical extracts from masterpieces] (Appendix) are combination of three fundamentals.
