Fantastic video. I have a question: I have been self-teaching saxophone for about two weeks now using nothing but KZitem and just messing around by myself. I am really getting the hang of it now and this video is perfect to help me understand the way the saxophone works. My question is are there any situations in which any of the alternative fingerings shown in this video are preferable? Or is it simply a matter of choosing the most comfortable fingering for you, or choosing the fingering which is easiest to change to after the previous note? Thanks :)

Pleased to see the enharmonic naming of the notes , as used in notated music for reading saxophone parts in bands/ orchestras ,. There can be a tendency to play the higher notes too sharp , sometimes because of tightening the embouchure unnecessarily and not correcting the pitch by hearing the pitch in one’s head and using steady diaphragm breath control.
