Does anyone know where I can get a fingering chart specifically for a soprano saxophone? My music teacher recommends that I search the internet for more information and the technique of playing it before I start playing it in the band, which requires me to have some experience. I've been playing the alto and a variety of other instruments for 5+ years.

The soprano saxophone uses exactly the same fingering as the alto for the standard notes, up to third octave F#. For the notes above this, the altissimo notes, some fingerings are more suitable for soprano than others. The best chart is here at the Woodwind Fingering Guide.

Playing the soprano doesn't require much more experience, if you've been playing an alto sax for 5 years. All it is, is a slight adjustment in embouchure. And remember, saxophones all have the same fingerings, just different pitches will come out.
