The simplest way is to transpose everything down a third (three semi-tones)
Also, the piano is tuned in concert and the Alto Saxophone, as you know, is in Eb.

If you have music for the piano and want to play it with the baritone and piano how many steps do you need to transpose it?
I'm pretty sure baritone horn and piano are both concert pitched instruments. The Baritone Sax is a transposing instrument and is pitched in Eb. This means that if you play a C it will sound as Eb. Therefore you need to transpose the piano part down 3 semitones. for example... you see a written Eb and you play 3 semitones lower... C You see a written C and you play an A. If in doubt... simply go to a piano and play a C then find the note on your sax.

Why do clarinets and saxophones transpose?
Im not sure if you meant 'why' or how' do clarinets and saxophones transpose. For the sake of logic, I will assume "How do clarinets and Saxophones transpose" as the alternative does not make sense to me. Well, quite simply, from a clarinet to a Tenor or Soprano Saxophone, there is NO transposing needed as the Clarinet, Tenor Saxophone and Soprano Saxophone are all Bb (B Flat) instruments (which means that a C on the Clarinet will sound the same as a C on those 2 saxes). However, for the Alto and Baritone saxophones, you will need to transpose, as Alto and Baritone are Eb (E Flat) instruments. One thing to note is that a Clarinet has a Register Key, while a Saxophone has an Octave Key. The register key raises the pitch of a clarinet by a 12th (19 semitones) while the Octave key raises by an octave, or 8th (12 semitones). Just something to consider when making the transition :)
How many other types of saxophones are there besides the eb alto saxophone?
The most common types of saxophones you will find in concert bands and such are the Bb tenor, Eb alto, Eb barry (baritone) saxophones. Another common type is the Bb soprano. There are many different types of saxophones, though, so don't be surprised if, for example, you find a C soprano and a Bb soprano or whatever. They're still both saxes. Hope this helped.
How do you convert piano to alto sax?
The tenor saxophone is in the key of Bb, while a standard piano is pitched in the key of C. To have a piano play in the same key as a tenor sax, you can do one of two things: 1. Have the piano part transpose (move) all it's notes down a full step. For example, instead of playing a D on the page, it plays a C. Instead of playing an Eb, it plays a Db. 2. Or, which may be easier, the tenor sax player can transpose (move) all it's notes up a full step. So instead of playing a F, the tenor will play a G.

How do you transpose alto sax music into b flat clarinet?
It depends what sort of saxophone you're playing ; alto saxes commonly come in two different tunings, Bb and Eb. Naturally, Bb saxophones do not need transposition into a Clarinet. Eb saxes, however need transposition. To change Eb sax music into Bb Clarinet you need to transpose the notes five semitones down. You can work this out by finding out how much distance there is between the two pieces of music. You can also work out the "concert pitch" or "real pitch" of of the instrument you're transposing it from (i.e. transposing it into C) and then transposing into the tuning of the new instrument.

When you say Eb (E-flat) minor, you're talking about a chord, which in this case is Eb, Gb, Bb and Eb. When you say Eb major, you're talking about a chord with the notes Eb, G, Bb and Eb. You are probably referring to the pitch of the instrument, which is (at least was in my day, Jazz competition 1963 in Texas, age 13), Bb.
