Best Answer

The Saxophone may play either melody or harmony. However, as an instrument that was designed to simulate the human vocal apparatus it often tends to play melody. The alto sax is more likely to play melody (as opposed to harmony) than the tenor sax, being a higher-pitched instrument.

When you play a melody in sheet music are you supposed to play the notes or the chords?

If you're still unsure of what the melody is, think to yourself: "What part of the song would I sing or hum?" That's the melody.
