I cant read music ,but I have been blowing the sax pretty well ,I have an alto ,I am 60years old in april & want to play a tune on my birthday.I play guitar & ukelele very well,but cant string notes together on a sax…I have been trying to practice “moves like jagger”..DO you have a fingering chart where I could see where to put my fingers?or is it too late for me.?
hope you can help.

Hey Bess,
It would be a lot easier for you to play things like that if you could read music. Do you learn music by ear?
Right now, I don’t have a chart. I was thinking about doing that tune, but I was only planning on doing a piece of it. Will let you know if I do.
