Question

I’ve never played sax before but I loved at the first sight when I heard it.

Bought an Alto sax because It was cheaper but, I really wanted a Tenor

Will I be able to play a tenor after learn how to play an Alto sax?

Response

Yes, you will. They have many similarities. Fingers go in the same places. You read music in the same way.

The main difference will be with how the embouchure feels. But if anything, it should be easier to transition from alto to tenor than from alto to to tenor. The only way that’s not true is in terms of the air required to play tenor sax (which will be more).

Another thing that changes is the key that you’ll play things in if you want to play songs in the original key.
