I need help on my major scales for tenor sax.?

Question

I'm new at the sax and want to learn the B flat major, E flat major, and F major scales.

Answer 1

Ok... so here are your major scales (give it a minute to load)...

These are only one octave, but this will get you started.  As you start progressing, you will want to do 2 octave scales, then full range.

...and here is a fingering chart:

Choose basic fingerings... and for the next octave click the link at the bottom of the page...

there are also fingering charts for alternate fingerings, altissimo, and trills, so hang on to this link or print everything out- it will last you forever!

Have fun, and happy playing! :)

Answer 2

Bb Major scale is Bb C D Eb F G A Bb

Eb = Eb F G Ab Bb C D Eb

F = F G A Bb C D E F

if you're asking about "concert scales" like the scale to make sure everyone is playing the same thing, merely go up a whole step from the concert pitch. So, Bb would turn into C; Eb to F; F to G

so your concert scales would be

Bb:C - C D E F G A B C

Eb:F - F G A Bb C D E F

F:G - G A B C D E F# G

i'm not sure which ones you are asking for.

Answer 3
