I’m trying to find a decent fingering chart as i just picked back up a tenor sax after 19 years of not playing..and as i orginally played clarinet i swear the fingering was the same but I’m stumped now 🙁
Neal Battaglia
you’re saying the fingering for clarinet and saxophone is the same?

Frances
at least i seem to recall it being the same and its throwing me off

Neal Battaglia
only some of the notes have the same fingering

Frances
like concert c I though twas the same but apparently not

Neal Battaglia
it is in one octave

Frances
its just totally throwing me for a loop

Neal Battaglia
okay, so you’re on a page with a fingering chart

Frances
feel like i am going to have to start back at the basics
yes

Neal Battaglia
Did you want to pay for lessons?

Frances
not right now/ at this point i rented a tenor to see if my hands would still work, as they arnt on my clarinet..i experienced nerve damage so i cant fully feel my fingers ..which doesnt help when playing the clarinet

Neal Battaglia
ah, got it

Frances
just got totally stomped with the fingering
ill keep plugin away thanks

you could try that
some scales

Frances
thanks

Neal Battaglia
might be a good place to start

Frances
just as an fyi how much are lessons?

Neal Battaglia
I have different classes
they’re in the navigation on the top
one is a class on scales

Frances
ill keep you book marked so if this goes well i will want to purchase a new one.. student models sorta suck with regards to tone and clarity of notes.. (not sure if you find that)

Neal Battaglia
the mouthpiece can be more important than the horn

Frances
that too 😉
and the reeds i find are a big difference to.. the lower 2 and unders let the sound produce quickly but a 3 and up provide more warmth
i really miss playing .. hope i can get it all back

Neal Battaglia
true
depends on the mouthpiece/reed combination as well

Frances
right now for me though is a brain issue.. can’t seem to remember anything 😉 first day with it…im sure ill snap back ..thanks for the help
