Hi! Just wondering how you can get decent sounding high notes on tenor sax. I can get low notes really well, but when I try to play high (above 2nd octave), I get all kinds of squeaks. Any ideas?

I'm not a long time tenor player(now I'm an alto sax player and a flutist) but I used to have funny squeaks sometimes on the tenor, then I found out that its an embouchure problem(I think its too tight). Check your embouchure again. And have you gotten your G pitch on your tenor mouthpiece? Not only it improves your tone but I think it might fix your squeaky problem. Also try a harder reed, maybe a half step up harder.

You might have too much mouthpiece in your mouth.

often on the student level crappy saxaphones severely limit players. check your octave mechanism and make sure it's working right; it can have a profound effect on the sounding of the notes, especially from second D - second F.
