Make that major 6th jump while transposing on the fly can be a bit challenging and there actually is an easier way to go about it even if the “correct” intervall is a major 6th above the concert key note.įor your E-flat saxophones you want to be playing a minor 3rd (or 3 half steps) below the heard concert note. That means a sixth intervall and playing an A on a Alto or Baritone saxophone translates into an C on the piano (Concert pitch). The Alto and Baritone Saxophones are both Eb instruments (E flat) which means that they are tuned in Eb in relation to C instruments like the piano and guitar. So, good on you for wanting to learn how to transpose your saxophone. In my experience as a saxophone teacher and pro musician being able read C-instrument sheet music and transpose into the right notes on the saxophone is a really useful skill to have and it will set you apart from the majority of other sax players too. However, as you'll see below there are other ways to calculate and learn how to transpose saxophone to fit with the band” and that's how you can learn and use the skill of transposing on the fly with a bit of practice. It's useful when you want to find out quickly what the note should be on your sax when playing together with other instruments.
Use the saxophone transpose tool (see below) that I made to help you find out the relation between your own sax note and C instruments like the piano. Transpose Alto Saxophone to Tenor Saxophone.
