What is the fingering for A flat on the viola?

To play an A flat on the viola, you typically use the first finger (index finger) on the first string (A string) and place it slightly flat against the fingerboard to lower the pitch. This note can also be played on the second string (D string) using the fourth finger (pinky) in a high position, depending on the context of the piece. Make sure to adjust your finger placement to ensure accurate intonation.


Can you use a sax reed for a clarinet?

Well yes and no. When you finger a note on alto and tenor the notes in the relative key (Bb for tenor and Eb for alto) are fingered the same way. So a C on an alto and a C on a tenor are fingered the same way, but sound different. On tenor it's a concert Bb, when on alto it's a concert Eb. But for fingering purposes and just generally learning the instrument, yes.


If I play on a 3.5 reed on Alto Sax which reed size should I use on Soprano Sax?

If you play a 3.5 reed on Alto Sax, you might start with a 3 or 3.5 reed on Soprano Sax. The Soprano Sax typically requires a slightly softer reed than Alto due to its higher pitch and different embouchure. However, individual preference and playing style can also influence the best choice, so it’s a good idea to try both sizes to see which feels more comfortable and produces the desired sound.

Is the alto sax similar to the clarinet?

There are many similarities. The mouthpiece and reed are similar, as is the embouchure (how you use the small muscles around the mouth), although the clarinet embouchure requires more strength. In the middle octave, from fourth line D to B above the staff, the primary fingerings are the same. There are differences, too. In addition to the obvious different shape and weight of the instruments, the sax overblows at the octave, meaning the middle octave has the same fingerings for each note as in the low octave (except for the addition of the octave key), while the clarinet overblows at the twelfth, meaning the fingering for the low octave is different. For example, the fingering for middle C with the addition of the register key sounds a G in the middle register of the clarinet. The more complicated fingering and the additional embouchure strength required to play clarinet makes it harder for a sax player to learn the clarinet than it is for a clarinet player to learn sax. Many teachers encourage young players who are interested in saxophone to start on clarinet. The young clarinet player doesn't have to deal with the weight of the sax, and learns skills that transfer easily.
