Understanding this musical alphabet is the first step to learning scales, reading music, and playing the saxophone more easily. Notes going down (C B A G F E D C)  We will start from C medium to C Low Notes going Up (C D E F G A B C  We will start from C medium to C High Exercises Long Tone (Shape Your Sound) Exercise 1 (Alto Sax) Falling from : medium B to low C  B —— A —— G —— F —— E —— D —— C  Hold each note for 8 beats. (2 bars) ▶ Exercise 2 (Alto Sax) Rising from low C to medium B  C —— D —— E —— F —— G —— A —— B  ▶ Exercise 3 (Alto Sax) Rising from : medium B to High C  B —— A —— G —— F —— E —— D —— C  Hold each note for 8 beats. (2 bars) https://youtu.be/iTAIpXe64oM Notes with Sharps (#) and Flats (♭) In music, some notes can be higher or lower than natural notes. A sharp (#) raises a note by a half step.For example, C# (C sharp) is higher than C. A flat (b) lowers a note by a half step.For example, Bb (B flat) is lower than B. These symbols allow us to play notes between natural notes.On the saxophone, these notes are very common.They appear in many scales and melodies. Do not worry if this feels new.We will practice step by step in the next exercises. Let’s start with the note G. Between G and A, there is one whole step.There is a note in the middle. If we move G up by a half step (#), we get G#.G# is between G and A. If we move A down by a half step (b), we get Ab.G# and Ab are the same sound. Between A and B Between A and B, there is one whole step.There is a note in the middle: A# or Bb.Same sound, different name. Between C and D Between C and D, there is only half step.So No note exist betwen them Between B and C Between B and C, there is one whole step.There is a note in the middle: C# or Db. Now let’s go in the opposite direction. Let’s start again with the note G. Between G and F Between G and F, there is one whole step.There is a note in the middle. If we move G down by a half step (b), we get Gb.If we move F up by a half step (#), we get F#. Gb and F# are the same sound.This note is between G and F. Between F and E Between F and E, there is only half step.So No note exist betwen them Between E and D Between E and D, there is one whole step.There is a note in the middle. If we move E down by a half step (b), we get Eb.If we move D up by a half step (#), we get D#. Eb and D# are the same sound.Same sound, different name.
