To determine the relative major key from a minor key, you can find the major key that shares the same key signature. For example, if you are in the key of A minor, the relative major key would be C major because they both have no sharps or flats in their key signature.
Take the upper octave fingerings of the B flat clarinet (D in the staff to a D above the staff) and they produce the same notes on the tenor saxophone. On tenor saxophone, you would use the same fingerings for notes regardless of which octave you are in (for example: a D in the staff is the same fingering as a D below the staff) either adding the octave key to make the note higher or lower. The only inconsistencies with no relation between clarinet and tenor are the fingerings for C (middle key in the left hand on tenor) and C sharp (no keys down on tenor) Notes in the octave above the staff are different from clarinet to tenor as well.
The dominant key is the fifth note of the scale. For A major scale, this would be E.
The Soprillo piccolo saxophone is a transposing instrument in the key of Bb. Same as the tenor sax.
The tenor saxophone sounds in Bb when playing in C (it goes a whole step lower). The alto saxophone sounds in Eb when playing in C (going 4.5 steps lower).Therefore, transpose the notes UP 3 steps to go from tenor sax music to alto sax music.Each sax is tuned 3 steps below the one above it or 3 steps higher from the one below it (from saprano to alto, alto to tenor, tenor to bari)
