    How it works

    A quick check, not a substitute for listening.

    01

    Choose the note

    Use the selector to match the written pitch on your staff.

    02

    03

    Play it in context

    Return to a scale, exercise or song and connect the movement to sound.

    Animated fingering chart

    The basic key system is shared across common saxophones.

    Soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones use the same fundamental fingering logic. Written range, alternate fingerings and instrument setup can still affect the best choice.

    Built for saxophone practice

    Built for the moment between seeing a note and moving your fingers.

    Use the chart as a beginner reference, a quick memory check or a bridge into the animated fingering panel inside SaxoTools.

    Frequently asked questions

    What to know before you start.

    Does this chart use concert pitch?

    The selector shows written saxophone notes. The sounding concert pitch depends on whether you play a B♭ or E♭ saxophone.

    Which written notes are included?

    The animation is limited to the supported pitches currently present in the app’s prepared fingering map between C4 and C6. Unsupported pitches are not shown in the selector.

    Does it work for alto and tenor?

    Yes. The fundamental key system is shared, while the transposition and sounding pitch differ.

    Why should I still listen instead of only watching?

    A diagram explains the movement. Your ears, air and embouchure still determine whether the note speaks clearly and in tune.
