You blow in it....

and press on the buttons to change pitch.

No, you don't, you curve your bottom lip over your bottom teeth so your bottom teeth do not touch the reed. Then you put your top teeth on top of the mouthpiece and blow.

To tounge, you tap your tounge on the reed whilst playing a note.

The combination of reed vibration and the resonating air column within the saxophone creates the instrument's characteristic sound.

A saxophone produces sound through the vibration of a single reed attached to the mouthpiece. When a musician blows air into the mouthpiece, the reed vibrates against the mouthpiece, creating sound waves. These vibrations travel through the instrument's body, which has a conical shape that amplifies and modifies the sound. The pitch is altered by opening and closing keys, which change the effective length of the instrument's air column.
