Diagrams
by ericmiller
A tenor sax player learning new notes moves faster with a chart that shows exactly which keys to press. This set of 29 fingering charts covers the saxophone's standard range, including the palm keys and alternate fingerings that smooth out fast passages. Beginners, band students, and teachers building handouts can keep one on the stand as a dependable reference.
The charts download as print-ready PDFs that print cleanly on letter paper. Some include blank diagrams so you can mark trill fingerings or notes for a specific tune. Slide one into your gig folder or tape it up where you practice. Choose the chart that fits your level and keep those fingerings close as you build your range.

How do you read a tenor sax fingering chart?
A tenor sax fingering chart shows each note alongside a diagram of the keys to press, usually with filled circles for closed keys and open circles for released ones. Match the note you want to the diagram, then press the indicated keys while maintaining proper breath and embouchure.
What notes does a tenor sax fingering chart cover?
A complete tenor sax fingering chart covers the saxophone standard range from low B-flat up through the high register, including the palm keys for the highest notes. Many charts also show alternate fingerings that make fast passages and certain key changes smoother to play.
Why are alternate fingerings shown on a tenor sax chart?
Alternate fingerings give players easier options for tricky transitions, fast runs, or specific musical passages where the standard fingering is awkward. Charts include them so students can choose the smoothest path between notes, improve intonation, and reduce finger movement during quick or technically demanding sections.
