Quartet Rehearsal Techniques

I have been looking for a written rehearsal technique or methodology for Sax Quartets. I have not found such a tool. Any ideas? Or, if this does not exist, maybe this is a great project to take on. Thanks in advance Mark

Instead of looking for a specific "Saxophone Quartet" method, I would look to the String Quartet.

[/URL] J.M. Londeix also had a Saxophone Ensemble book of chords/scales to tune to and work on balance, "Exercices Pratiques pour ensemble de Saxophones".

Thanks to both of you. I ordered the GSQ book. The Rascher book is out of print. If anyone knows a resource, let me know. Thanks again Mark
