To change the pitch on an Alto Saxophone push and pull the mouthpiece on/off the cork. To make your pitch less flat push on and to make your pitch less sharp pull off. (Make sure you are using cork grease on your cork so that you are not damaging the mouthpiece, cork, and neck.) You can also try changing the pitch, put less pressure on your lips to make the pitch drop, and vice versa.
