Was not sure where to post this but hoping someone can help.
Been playing for nearly a week now and I am familiar with the normal notes. I am trying to learn to use the octave key and can play the higher notes. Currently I cannot play the high G - D.
example D
:line4:
I press
L1,2,3 and R1,2,3 and the octave key but the note comes out as a normal D. I have noticed that on notes G-D when pressing the octave key the valve at the top of the sax does not open but does when playing A, B, C.
With G - D I can play the notes but only by pressing my tongue against the reed but this is not the way they are meant to be played.
Can anyone help me in finding the correct findgering for these notes, I play an alto.
