Tenor Alto
Transposing from an alto sax to a tenor?
How would I take a tenor saxophone part and turn it into an alto saxophone part? How many steps up is a note on alto for it to sound the same on a tenor? (Like a Bb and a C for concert pitch and tenor)? =)
When a tenor sax plays high C, it sounds like a Bb below middle C. To get that same Bb, an alto player has to play the note G above middle C (below high C).
So in playing a tenor part on an alto, play all the notes a perfect 4th down (that is the difference between the tenor’s high C and the alto’s middle G). (A perfect fourth=5 half steps.)
To play an alto part on the tenor, play all the notes a perfect 4th higher.
