Best Answer

Soprano saxes are in the key of Bb, and sound one step below the written note. To transpose piano music or music for other C instruments, transpose two half-steps (one step) up. The key signature must be changed by adding two sharps or reducing the number of flats by two. Music originally in the key of F (one flat) will now be in the key of G (one sharp).

What should I play a soprano sax a tenor sax or an oboe?

Soprano Saxophone is more of a solo instrument and if you wish to learn it, play tenor first. With the saxophone you can play more of a jazz style. However, the first year of an oboe is horrible until you start becoming better. The oboeis more of a concert band and symphony instrument. It depends if you can see yourself playing jazz or concert later in your life.
