How do you convert piano to alto sax?

Answer 1

The Tenor Saxophone is in the key of Bb, while a standard piano is pitched in the key of C. To have a piano play in the same key as a tenor sax, you can do one of two things: 1. Have the piano part transpose (move) all it's notes down a full step. For example, instead of playing a D on the page, it plays a C. Instead of playing an Eb, it plays a Db. 2. Or, which may be easier, the tenor sax player can transpose (move) all it's notes up a full step. So instead of playing a F, the tenor will play a G.

Answer 2

To transpose tenor sax music to alto sax you need to transpose down a "perfect fourth." A perfect fourth (P4) is five half-steps. Half-steps are smallest distance between two notes in traditional western music, i.e., consecutive notes in a chromatic scale.

No, you do! transpose it down three half steps. For example: Eb (E flat [b]) on the piano (which is tuned in CONCERT) is C natural on the Alto Saxophone (which is tuned in Eb).
