The First Notes

B, A, G are the first notes we learn on the sax. These notes are played with the left hand only. Keep your right thumb under the thumb rest, but don’t close any keys.

Each picture below shows which buttons you’ll need to press. Next to each picture. You’ll see how those notes are written.

They aren’t usually color coded. But that can make things a bit easier at first.
