Altissimo Fingering Chart
for Eb Alto Saxophone
This fingering chart represents my preferred fingerings
for altissimo notes above third-line F above the staff. The
first fingering shown (left to right) is my 'first' choice fingering; however,
the others may prove more efficient or responsive based on a particular
passage or reed strength. Experiment. Practice this register
daily in conjunction with your overtone/voicing exercises. Gradually,
integrate these fingerings into your scales and rudiments as outlined in
your Levels and Jury requirements. The altissimo register is no longer
an option, it is a necessity for the aspiring saxophonist. Good Luck!!
