Yeah try with your mouthpiece and neck first. Practice with a metronome doing 4 beats playing then 4 beats rest and so on. Get a good calm and clear sound and then go to some articulation( where your tounge touches the reed) try 4 beats like da da da da and then 4 beats rest. Then go to your whole saxophone and do those same drills. If you get bored with those try going g,a g,a g,a. Then b,g b,g b,g b,g then #c,g #c,g #c,g. Try and keep a stedy calm tone.
