Picking up the Saxophone after 6 years

Hi, I stopped playing Saxophone around 6 years ago and I want to pick it up again. I've forgotten pretty much everything excpept where to put my mouth. I played with the local church (kinda) band with family dances. I still have my saxophone, loads of sheet music and the beginners book. However I can't afford lessons and so I will have to teach myself

Any ideas/tips?

Thank you

    Go through the beginner book starting at the beginning. Doing do, you will relearn what you've already been taught and it will work up your chops. You'll probably want to start with thin reeds rather than try to play what you last were using.
