Hello, I’m going to assume you play the saxophone!
What are you looking for on Sax Station?
Drake Trevitz
I’m looking for help on playing the baritone sax, I’ve played the alto sax for about 3 or 4 years and I’m gonna learn how to play baritone for concert and possibly marching season

Neal Battaglia
so you have tried playing bari yet or not?
Drake Trevitz
yea a little just trying to make a noise or something
Neal Battaglia
what’s your question?
Drake Trevitz
im wondering if you know of any good sites for lessons on how to play it or note sheet
Neal Battaglia
why do you think the bari is different than the alto?
Drake Trevitz
wait are the keys the same as alto?
Neal Battaglia
Yes
they’re exactly an octave apart
the keys for the tenor and soprano are also the same (but in a different key)
Drake Trevitz
so like on a alto saxophone it just has your standard b u play the same note on a bari ?
Neal Battaglia
Yes, if you’re playing the same thing
often the parts they play will be different
Drake Trevitz
well that is extremely helpful cause i thought i was going to have to learn how to play diff fingerings for the bari
Neal Battaglia
no
Drake Trevitz
well thank you so much
Neal Battaglia
if you have an ‘Eb’ real book for example, it works for either alto or bari
Drake Trevitz
okay thats even better
Neal Battaglia
bari/alto are in Eb, tenor/soprano are in Bb
Drake Trevitz
okay thats good to know
