First, clip your neck strap to the ring on the body of the Saxophone, then tighten it so the mouth piece is level with your mouth. Your right hand goes on the bottom with your thumb in the hook and your pointer, middle, and ring fingers resting on the three circles that are on the F, #F, and D keys. Your right little finger should be resting on the #D key. Your left hand goes on top. Your thumb is on the circle on the back of the body directly under the octave key. Your pointer finger goes on the B key, your middle finger goes on the A key and your ring finger goes on the G key. Your left little finger should be resting on the #G key. The bottom of the saxophone should be sitting on the side of your right thigh between your hip and your knee. you can also have the bottom of the saxophone sitting between your legs, but be careful not to be resting it on your chair.
