Putting Instrument Together: Step 1:
! Open case right side up. ! put thin end of reed into your mouth to moisten the
reed. ! Grease cork if necessary.
Step 2: ! Put neck strap over head. ! Hook strap to body of instrument. ! Remove end plug.
Step 3: ! Put the mouthpiece on the neck so that half the cork
is still exposed. ! The flat side of the mouthpiece should be on the
bottom side. Step 4:
! slide loose ligature over mouthpiece. ! Center the reed on the flat part of the mouthpiece
with only a hairline width of the mouth piece above the end of the reed visible.
! Tighten screws of ligature so that the reed is lightly snug (over tightening will crack reed and damage ligature).
Step 5: ! Put the neck on the body of the saxophone. ! Carefully align the connecting lever. ! Tighten the neck screw.
! I have reviewed all of the steps for Putting
Instrument Together.
Alto Saxophone: The Basics
Holding the Instrument: Step 1:
! Sit straight up in chair. ! Left foot slightly forward. ! Both feet on floor.
Step 2: ! Left hand on top. ! Right hand on bottom ! Allow neck strap to support sax. ! Locate “Home Keys” for fingers.
Step 3: ! Support instrument to the right side of your body. ! Tighten the neck strap so that the reed touches
your lower lip. Step 4:
! Keep wrists straight. ! Curve fingers in both hands. ! keep elbows out. !
! I have reviewed all of the steps for Holding
Instrument.

Playing the First Note: Step 1:
! Using mouth piece only (remove mouthpiece) ! Shape your mouth by saying the “oh”.
Step 2: ! Cover your bottom teeth with part of your lower
lip. Step 3:
! Place the mouthpiece in your mouth to where the reed and the mouthpiece touch (about 1/4 of an inch).
! Aim your air stream to the target which is the center of the reed.
Step 4: ! Rest top teeth directly on mouthpiece. ! Close mouth around mouth piece with equal
pressure (no leaks). ! Chin should be flat and pointed.
Step 5: ! Take a full breath of air and blow at the reed
using the syllable “doo”. ! If no sound, check to see if air stream is aimed at
target. ! Put mouthpeice on saxaphone and repeat
procedure. ! Practice making long steady tones. ! Don’t use up air too fast.
! I have reviewed all of the steps for Playing first
note.
Instrument Care: Step 1:
! After playing your saxaphone remove the reed and place it in it’s container.
Step 2: ! Remove the mouthpiece and wipe with a soft cloth. ! Replace cover on mouthpiece. ! Remove neck, drain and wipe excess moisture.
Step 3: ! Swab out the body of the instrument.
Step 4: ! Return instrument to case and close latches.
! I have reviewed all of the steps for Instrument
Care.

The Staff: The next step in reading music is understanding how the staff is used.
The Staff And Clefs
This set of 5 lines are used for writing the letter name of the note also known as the pitch name. The pitch names are based on the musical alphabet A B C D E F G.
The note heads are placed either on the line or in-between the lines in a space.
Example 1
Example 2
The Treble Clef: This symbol is also known as a treble clef (or G clef) and it is used to designate the note names on the lines and spaces for Flute, Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone Trumpet, and Bells.
Example 3
The Bass Clef: This symbol is also known as a Bass clef (or F clef) and it is used to designate the note names on the lines and spaces for Trombone, Tuba, Bassoon, Cello and Bass,
�13
Line Names, Space Names and Ledger Lines
Notes have a letter name based on the musical alphabet of “A B C D E F G ” (remember that notes can have rhythm names too). The letter name depends on what line or space the note (note-head) is written on.
Example 4

Fine

CE
Line Names Space Names
D

C B
A B Ledger Lines - are Names of the lines and spaces above and below the 5 line staff.
Example 5
Example 6
The next step in reading music is reading the note rhythms on the lines and spaces of the staff. Don’t forget the other note reading symbols like Meter sign that tells how to divide and count the beat. Bar-lines divide the beats into groups of beats called measures. Measure numbers help us find our place, and the double bar-line is the end.

Putting It All Together - Reading MusicRemember that reading music is recognizing the note names on the lines and spaces. Reading music is also knowing when to play notes and how long to play the notes (Rhythm). Remember to play using good posture and proper technique.
1st and 2nd Ending - This is a type of repeat in which the the end of the musical phrase changes and the regular repeat won’t work. The notes in the 1st ending bracket “1st” ending are played and then on the repeat, the music skips to the “ 2nd ending”. The double bar repeat sing is used with the 1st ending bracket.
