High Low Notes

[john]

I’m totally new to sax and on my Alto I’m already having trouble with notes D and Low C. I blow them higher than they should be. I can blow them correctly occasionally but not straight off. Can anyone suggest what the problem is? Perhaps embouchure or lack of wind?

Not a problem, find the lowest note you can play properly, then work on the next lower note, by slurring down to it etc… lower notes usualy have less lower lip pressure

Thanks James! I’ll give that a try.
