She has her heart set on saxaphone for some reason..
Interesting that this is where her "heart" is set. I would be interested to know why this instrument.. (rhetorical question.. curious why this one over some other ..)
Anyway, being a reed instrument, when she is first learning to play there will be lots of those "Squack" sounds that you will need to bear with.. over time as she becomes more proficient the "squawking" will mostly disappear.. I tell you this just so you will know in advance ...
alway remember.. it could be worse.. she could have wanted to play drums..
btw.. drums and percussion is what I play..

Played sax growing up and started on Alto.
Yes, transition to soprano, tenor, or bari is very easy.
In concert band style at least, changing it up I felt like have you a different perspective and it makes you more versatile as a musician. You get to know the bass line all the way to the melodies.
With that being said, saxes aren’t favorable In concert style. If your school doesn’t have jazz, I wouldn’t choose it. A trumpet, French horn, or baritone are shwon more favoritism in marching and concert band. Even as versatile as orchestra
