However, only so much of this can be taught in text on a website. Playing with the correct embouchure to produce a good tone is an equally important element of playing the saxophone when compared to learning the notes and fingerings. Here's hoping that your saxophonists can learn their notes better than mine!

For good information on how to play altissimo notes, visit Taming The Saxophone. As such, this saxophone chart shows the essential alternate fingerings, but does not include any altissimo notes. The StepWise fingering charts are intended for beginning to intermediate musicians who want to memorize the notes in the essential range of each instrument. However, there is a small piano keyboard which identifies the enharmonic equivalent on each "black key", and helps beginning saxophone players make sense of the accidentals (sharps & flats) and the enharmonic possibilities. In order to keep the chart's appearance more simple and visually appealing, only the most common enharmonic is shown. This chart also has a handy "Pinky Key" chart, which makes it easier for music teachers to refer to the keys and for students to figure them out.
