The alto saxophone sounds in Eb when playing in C (going 4.5 steps lower).Therefore, transpose the notes UP 3 steps to go from tenor sax music to alto sax music.Each sax is tuned 3 steps below the one above it or 3 steps higher from the one below it (from saprano to alto, alto to tenor, tenor to bari)

How do you convert piano to alto sax?
The tenor saxophone is in the key of Bb, while a standard piano is pitched in the key of C. To have a piano play in the same key as a tenor sax, you can do one of two things: 1. Have the piano part transpose (move) all it's notes down a full step. For example, instead of playing a D on the page, it plays a C. Instead of playing an Eb, it plays a Db. 2. Or, which may be easier, the tenor sax player can transpose (move) all it's notes up a full step. So instead of playing a F, the tenor will play a G.
What does the hardness of an alto saxophone reed do?
The number on the reed indicates the thickness of the reed. A thinner reed is easier to blow, but also is more delicate and does not last as long. Most beginners start with a lower number reed and, as their "chops" develop, move up to a higher number. Higher numbered reeds also improve quality of sound. It is most common to see a professional using a 2 1/2 - 3 saxophone reed.
