To play an F put down all the fingers of the left hand (top of the Saxophone) and the first finger on the right hand.

To have the note higher add the speaker key (with the left thumb)

The very top F on the saxophone, the left hand palm keys all held down, plus the top E key on the right hand side.

for a high C (in the treble cleff- the 3rd space) you play it with ur left hand middle finger between the G key and the B key (if u get my drift...) it's basically the middle note on the top half of those circley keys. for a low c, you'd play all the keys and then with ur pinky press the bottom note, and make sure u open ur mouth a bit lower- it gets a bit hard :)

Depends which saxophone. On an Alto and Baritone Sax, it's transposed to E-flat, which would make it: D, E, F#, G, A, B, C, D

If it's a Soprano or Tenor Sax, it's transposed to B-flat, which would make it: G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G

A low E is played with all three fingers on the left hand and fingers 1 and 2 on the right hand. To go an octave higher, play that fingering with the octave key. If you want an octave above that it's the first 2 palm keys (the ones closest to you) in the left hand and the top palm key in the right hand and the octave key.

Depends which e. The e note that is on the bottom line is 123 for right then 12 for left. The next e that is on the space right before you hit the top line is the same fingering except add the register key. The next e above the staff is hard to explain, you use the inner part of your right hand to hit two of the side keys and then using the inner side of your right hand hit one of the top side keys.

A tip for hitting low e is to adjust your embrochure(mouth). A good practice routine is to practice jumping in between the two octaves with the same fingerings only using your mouth. It's also pretty impressive. As for really high altissimo I cannot help you that is for beyond me.
