Yes, the cold temperature affects the quality of a saxophone because the metal becomes very cold causing the instrument to go flat.

What kind of instruments should girls play and are also easy?

There is no instrument either should or shouldn't play, it is up to you to make a decision of an instrument you like. As a musician myself, I recommend piano and/or saxophone. The piano can be played in so many different styles, it is not just about classical music. The saxophone can produce beautiful sounds and can also be played in a number of ways to suit your own musical preference. However, as stated before, it is vital that YOU choose an instrument that feels right for you, otherwise you may lack the motivation to learn and grow in both skill and confidence with that instrument.

What are the notes to stereo hearts for an alto saxophone?

The notes for "Stereo Hearts" on alto saxophone typically start with the melody in concert pitch. For transposing, remember that the alto saxophone is an E♭ instrument, so you would transpose the concert pitches up a major sixth. The main melody usually involves notes such as B, C#, D, E, and F#. It's best to refer to specific sheet music for precise notes and rhythms.

What instrument makes up the tenor and bass section of the woodwinds?

Soprano: flute, piccolo, oboe, clarinet, soprano saxophone. Alto: english horn, alto saxophone. Tenor: tenor saxophone, alto clarinet (despite its name, it is usually used as a tenor instrument). Bass: bassoon, contrabassoon, bass/contrabass clarinets, baritone saxophones. Of course, since woodwind instruments typically have a greater range than human voices, there is considerable overlap between parts. Bassoons frequently play the tenor part, and clarinets often play the alto part.
