What do you mean by high notes? Do you mean the D, Eb, E and F in the 3rd octave (palm-key notes) or do you mean the ones higher than that (altissimo notes). You can get the fingerings for both in the charts here, but you may not be able to play the altissimo notes - these require weeks of practise.

well first to get high notes for saxophone first get a perfect embouchure and doing that is 1. flat chin 2. tight mouth( for very high notes) and 3. the right fingerings. i'll even give you some high notes
1. high C: second finger, octive
2. high C#: octive
3. high D: L1, octive
4. high Eb: L1, L2, octive
5. high E: L1, L2, R1, octive
6. high F: L1, L2, L3, ovtive
7. high F something: L!, L@, L#, R1, ovtive ( which is the highest normal note of the alto saxophone

It's probably not a good idea to offer advice if you yourself don't know the correct fingerings...GBK

Well I think you are talking about altissimo notes. They are super high notes that are for saxophones. Mostly used in jazz. The next altissimo note after F is G and onward. I can play a D altissimo. That is my highest note. Altissimo notes go past the palm key notes. There are many fingering charts on the internet. Look them up.
