Saxophone Fingering Chart How to use it 

I was gifted a soprano saxophone just recently. I played tenor sax in hish school but, that was 42 years ago. I'm considering myself to be a beginner with distant memories. This has helped. One thing that I remembered was that the fingerings are the same for all varieties of sax with minor variations. This video has helped a lot.

Great presentation! The fingering chart also helps when making notes of the alternate keys. A good example, the F# where you press all the keys for a normal F plus the key right above the D# key. Thanks.

Great teacher

I use a fingering chart app which also allows you to hear the note. Invaluable as a beginner.

Great presentation. It helped me with the problem of reaching the low B flat key with my left little finger. Just a little change in the angle of the wrist.

Love it! Thanks Nigel. This is a fun and very useful video.

Great Teaching

Thank you really useful

Nice video 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Do you have a video that explains when to use those extra keys on the fingering chart? I just purchased a Yamaha tenor sax and a beginner.

Thanks a lot. But I could not find a PDF document to print as you mentioned in the video. Pls guide me if I missed to find somewhere. But this video and your blog really helps! Regards.

I used the link to download the fingering chart, but I can't figure out how to download the chart from that page. There are lots of links, but I can't find the one for the chart itself.

I'm a soprano saxophone beginner, does this video apply to it as well? Also any advice on it that you can give me? I'd really appreciate that a lot !

Where do I find a fingering chart that shows the notes with the correct names? For example I find it really disconcerting to be told I am playing a D when I can hear an F. I have been a flute player for decades (since 5 years old.) I think that if I want to play a G scale on sax, I have to play the flute fingerings for an Bb maj scale. If this is correct, it would be really helpful if I could find a chart that shows this for all scales, Maj, Min, diminished, 7ths plus the harmonic minors and modes.

great

Couldn't see the PDF file. Still struggling to find a GOOD fingering symbolic graphics, INCLUDING the alternative fingering!?!?

After 15 minutes of looking for the fingering chart, signing up, email confirmations, I still can’t find it, and I’m dumb founded as to what my password is as I signed up with Google. Why so hard 😭

When a beginner is it common to be tense when holding the sax. I can't seem to get relaxed.

No link at the bottom of the post. No way to download the fingering chart.

i went to join saxschool but could not complete purchase without giving my address ...... why do u need that ?

You wouldn`t believe me if I told you, I smashed the same finger and its black just like yours, it made me laugh

So the link takes you to a blog page that DOES NOT have a printable fingering chart. You have to sign up for a free trial in order to get access. Meaning you better cancel before you get charged $230, just for a printable chart. These videos are helpful but that type of "Free" content is a really scummy way to attract business. It's either free or it's not, please don't gate "Free" stuff behind a credit card signup page...

Wish we didn’t have to subscribe to get the chart

Don’t buy a starter sax off this site….I did and it was unplayable, I had to pay another £50 to get it set up……then lost faith and sold it on

No PDF You make it so dificult to access the pdf so I m re unsubscribing...

This is how you play a c in the saxophone 🖕

dint speek more very boring
