I finished learning all the notes on the Saxophone, and am able to produce the correct tone for each note.  The easy ones for me are the low C to the high C, which gives me a nice two octave range on the saxophone, however there are a few notes above and below I needed to get right.  The fingering is the largest issue with those notes for me, and it will just take me a little bit to get comfortable with it.  The notes above I needed to figure out are from the high D to the high F.  Nothing too difficult, just using a different set of keys than I’m used to, so it slows me down a tad.  The two notes below the low C are B and B flat.  I find B easier than B flat however.  Once I can get these tones to stabalize and can hit the keys quickly and correctly I’ll work on scales that encompas the entire range of the saxophone.

I did find out more information about long tones today on the forum Sax on the Web that I read.  I just wanted to be sure, and the responses I got indicate that there is no issue with starting long tones now.  So I am going to continue with them in my practice session.

During this week I’ll be searching for another melody to record as well, I just have not decided yet what to play.
