How do you transpose piano music to Bb tenor sax?
Asked by Wiki User
This depends on what key the Trombone is in and what clef the music is written in. Most trombone music in treble clef is for Bb trombone so there would be no transposing needed, they can play straight from the music. However, if they only read bass clef then you need to effectively 'transpose' the music down a third (two notes below on the stave)
Is the alto saxophone played on the bass clef or the treble clef?
Asked by Wiki User
You can play any instrument in any clef, you just need to be able to understand that clef. But yes, saxophone sheet music is generally notated in the treble clef. Well, at least I know for sure that tenor and alto sax music is, but those are the only types of sax I have played. I can't say for sure that baritone and soprano sax are.
What should I play a soprano sax a tenor sax or an oboe?
Asked by Willcrumb
Soprano Saxophone is more of a solo instrument and if you wish to learn it, play tenor first. With the saxophone you can play more of a jazz style. However, the first year of an oboe is horrible until you start becoming better. The oboeis more of a concert band and symphony instrument. It depends if you can see yourself playing jazz or concert later in your life.
What are the lyrics to strangers on the shore?
Asked by Wiki User
Here I stand, watching the tide go out
So all alone and blue
Just dreaming dreams of you
I watched your ship as it sailed out to sea
Taking all my dreams
And taking all of me
The sighing of the waves
The wailing of the wind
The tears in my eyes burn
Pleading, "My love, return"
Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore?

Next, you pick up the body in the case and attach it to the neck tightening on the screws if needed.

Where do you find tenor saxophone sheet music?
Asked by Wiki User
Sometimes you can type "tenor saxophone sheet music" into your Google browser, and it might give you some free downloads of sheet music, but sometimes some websites will require you to make an account and usually pay for the music.
You can also go to your local music store and ask for tenor sax books. They'll probably have books with popular songs, songs from movies, certain genres, that kind of stuff. Hope this helps :)
How much bigger is the tenor sax compared to alto?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes it does take more air to play tenor sax because it is bigger. I play tenor and i started on alto and tenor sax needs more air. It's somewhat like transitioning from a tenor sax to a barry. it takes a crapload of air for a whole note.
By the way, should the sax family be: sopranino, soprano, tenor, alto, baritone, bass, contrabass in that order? I would also think that the amount of air goes up as you go from alto to tenor because it is larger in size. I can play a high D (tenor) for two bars. == ==
Does a mouthpiece affect your sound on tenor saxophone?
Asked by Wiki User
Another mouthpiece material is "hard rubber" and are commonly mistaken as "Plastic", since they are black and not made of "metal". Plastic mouthpieces are much lower in price, and break easily if accidentally dropped. Hard Rubber mouthpieces are more expensive and don't break as easily as plastic. Even though plastic mouthpieces are inexpensive some great players have used them such as Charlie Parker, who played on a white Runyon model 22, and also a white plastic Brilhart Tonalin.
The advantage of the metal mouthpiece is that it doesn't easily break, and the "face" of the mouthpiece (where the reed lays) isn't easily warped - something that can happen if you clean a Hard Rubber mouthpiece with hot water (only use luke warm water). Plastic mouthpieces will change their molecular make up if they are cleaned with acetone and sometimes are even sensitive to alcohol and consequently break easily.
Some people believe that "If the chamber's of any type material mouthpiece were the same, the listener would not be able to tell the difference between the 3 materials". This assumption has been proven wrong. There are some who can not only hear the difference but have won radio contests by being able to decipher the difference. This ability is not common, but has been proven to exist. Metal, Hard Rubber and Plastic mouthpieces have slight sound differences, but the biggest difference is felt by the player - who would feel the different vibrational characteristics. "
There are a lot of opinions on "makes" like "Selmer" or "Keilworth"and how they play with different mouthpieces. The recognizable sound of a saxophonist comes from their vocal chords. No matter how many different mouthpieces you use - the player is still identifiable, by their "sound". There was once a radio contest where the caller in was able to identify Zoot Simms impersonating Stan Getz. Zoot did a great job sounding like Stan, but the listener that new his "voice" was still able to tell over a radio speaker that it wasn't him (all the other calls guessed "Stan Getz"). Again, this ability is rare and for most people the difference is mostly felt by the player, so the real test is to record yourself and then listen to the differences. Some "makes" simply sound too "bright" with a metal mouthpiece, because the player's vocal chords already lean toward that type of sound. It's common for the band teacher to recommend for a student to get a new mouthpiece, when the problem is that the saxophone needs repair. Most players make the mistake of not finding a good repair tech, and then try to "fix" their sound by replacing the mouthpiece. Always make sure your instrument is in good playing condition before testing and or purchasing mouthpieces.
