What You Need

In order to use this gospel saxophone sheet music, you will need a basic understanding of jazz chords and progressions. You should also be familiar with the 12 bar blues progression. If you are not familiar with these concepts, I recommend checking out some of my other articles or lessons on these topics before continuing.

Once you have a basic understanding of chords and progressions, you can begin learning how to use this sheet music. The first thing you need to do is find a song that you would like to play. Once you have found a song, look at the chord progression and find the key that the song is in. For example, if the chord progression is C-F-G7, the key of the song is C.

Once you know the key of the song, look at the gospel saxophone sheet music and find the scale that corresponds with the key of the song. For example, if the key of the song is C, you would look for a scale that starts on C. In this case, you would play a C major scale.

Now that you know what scale to play, it’s time to start improvising! Start by playing around with different rhythms and melodies using the notes from the scale. Experiment and have fun!

How to Use the Sheet Music

The sheet music in this packet is written in treble clef. For alto and tenor saxophone players, you will need to read the sheet music in concert key. This means that you will play the notes one octave lower than they are written. For example, if the note on the staff is an A, you will play a low A on your instrument.

If you are playing soprano or baritone saxophone, you need to read the sheet music in B-flat. This means that you will play all of the notes as if they were written a half step lower than they actually are. So, if the note on the staff is an A, you will play an Ab on your instrument.

All of the rhythms in this packet are quarter notes and eighth notes. This means that each beat should be subdivided into two equal parts. When you see a quarter note on the staff, that means that each beat should be divided into two equal parts and held for one of those parts. When you see an eighth note on the staff, that means that each beat should be divided into two equal parts and held for half of one of those parts.

The tempo (speed) markings included with each song are only suggestions. You may use any tempo that you feel comfortable with while still being able to play all of the notes correctly and evenly.

Tips

-If you are a beginner, it is advisable to start with the basic notes.
