How to Play the Tenor Saxophone - Fingering Chart & Flashcards
Download the StepWise Tenor Saxophone Fingering Chart
|
The fingering charts for Tenor Saxophone in standard band method books do not show how the octaves are related, and are spread across two pages. This free chart shows young musicians how the notes on the saxophone are organized by fingering and octave, making it much easier to memorize!
This chart also has a handy "Pinky Key" chart. As a bonus, everything fits easily on one page! This allows students in your band to keep this chart on their music stand and use it frequently as a quick reference. I like to print these stepwise fingering charts for my whole band on cardstock and pass them out in the first week of school, along with the fingering flashcards. It is a powerful combination!

Tenor Saxophone Fingering Flashcards
|
Tenor sax students typically learn to play the notes of their Concert B-Flat scale like pros, but don't do so well with the lower-octave notes. They certainly never learn the difference between the F-sharp and F-natural fingerings! I'm only slightly joking there, as any experienced band director will tell you.
StepWise Flashcards to the rescue! These flashcards will help both beginning and more advanced players finally learn and memorize those pesky accidentals and palm key notes, along with the F's and F-sharps. Of course the notes and fingerings on ALL saxophones are exactly the same, so why do we have a different version for Alto/Bari sax? It is because of the numbers and shapes on each flashcard that organize them by CONCERT PITCH with the rest of the band. Because the tenor sax is a B-flat instrument and the alto and bari saxes are E-flat instruments, the numbers and symbols on each card are different...requiring a unique set for the two different groups of saxophones. |
