ok I found some songs on here but can someone help me play them some go to high and some go to low. any help?

what do you mean? do you know how to play tenor sax? if so, check a fingering chart for notes.

oh i do i do but that doesnt seem to help I mean it just doesnt sound right like in Inuyasha Tenor sax cant go that high or low same for wol's rain and .hack so I have to play the other parts and I want a solo Ive had one evry concert since 5th grade!{yes tenor sax the whole time} now imm in 7th so please can someone please help it would be greatly appreacheaed. {sp?}

how high does it go? if it's beyond a F on the top ledger lines, then someone probably just took it straight out of a midi, in which case you just have to play it down an octave.

well thats sounds easy buts its not now since my intsturement is messed up {cause someone raped it} Mr.Hoffman wont let me switch out but I did ..Nope still dosent sound right.?do YOU play the tenor sax?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but cant a sax jump an octave up by adjusting their ombisure (sp?), thus making notes above the F (thinking it's F5) possible?

i play every sax from alto to bari.

Mies: you can indeed use your lips instead of the octave key, but you can only tighten so much before it just drops down an ocatve from what you're trying to play. the highest the three most common saxes (i don't know about soporano or bass) can go is a high F on common fingering charts.

kariekh: if your instrument's messed up, there's nothing we can help you with.

:P YES! I got a new sax! but I play alto and tenor only oh and octave thing didnt work sounds to deep man do I wish you where here in person to help me.but still if you can find some of those songs i lised for tenor that would be great!

i checked gravity from wolf's rain, and it's for concert pitch. that means you have to transcribe it up a second for t sax, which is a B flat instrument. everything should be playable except for the odd E (F after the transcription), in which case i can't help you since it's not transcribed for saxes to play.

oh thats great{sigh} I wish they cared as much for other insterments as for Paino.well looks like i haveta learn to play Paino wish me luck!tehe

the melody wasn't for piano, it was for a solo voice.

Ya know, i was just learning to play tenor (i'm really good on alto) but is the lowest note the Bb? All six keys with the bottom and top pinky thingys, right? I know its A on the bari, but how low on tenor?

the only way to play an a on a bari is with the second thumb key, and i don't know if they make that thumb key for tenor/alto. of course, you could always just push down all the keys individually :D

lowest for me is all 6 closed and bottom bottom key.But I got a solo!YES! its "Can you feel the love tonight?" off of um the Lion king! sweet huh?

that would be a C.

ok its sad but I just got my REAL tenor back from the shop and now its STIL mesed up thats evil. {Sigh} oh well teh guess you cant win em all oh lets look on the bright side um nope nothin OH but I have a bad side I lost my voice well its not gone it realy hurts when I talk {sigh} oh well I love typeing just as much so Im just woundering do you maybe know whats wrong?when I play the um I think E flat or sharp it swcres{sp?} up or mess's up so any help for an amuture?

Please slow down and use sentences and maybe a dictionary. It's very hard to read your post. I think you're talking about embouchre but I'm not sure. Or you may be calling yourself an amature. I can help with embouchre but without specifics I don't think anyone can really help you.

sorry I see what you mean im only a kid!{12 to be exact} sorry im not the best speller.
but Its now fixed and my voice is back but I got spacers in so anyone with braces or spacers please tell me will this efect my playing?oh and I said I AM an amuture.

The spacers shouldn't affect your playing too much. You may notice a difference at first but after a couple of weeks it shouldn't matter. I played Tenor Sax and Bass Clarinet for two years with braces and never noticed it impeding my playing ability.

glad to hear it! {sigh} so close and now no solo hey you got a solo I can play on tenor sax be any chance that is off a game or something?byany chance?
