Getting the high notes, i.e. in the upper part of the second octave and into the third octave
4 weeks, 7 days a week

Do you not know where to put your fingers for the higher notes?

What is your question?

Be more specific, thanks

-Neal

Good morning, Neal

Thank you for your reply, and for tackling my question.

I know where to put my fingers to play the notes (I have used your fingering video and several fingering charts in tutor books) but I can’t achieve the embouchure to sound the notes. I usually manage A and B in the upper octave but C comes out squeaky (if at all) and I cannot get D, E and F.

I hope that is specific enough.

Kind regards

Alan

Keep practicing everyday, play the notes below them and transition to the notes that are harder for you.

It can take some time to get the full range of the saxophone. You have only played four weeks, but you should get them before too long with consistent practice and focus on those those in particular.

Thanks, Neal

I eventually got the low notes by approaching from above, so let’s hope a similar method will work upwards too!
