About this site

The Fingering Chart is a free reference for players of school band instruments. It covers 17 instruments, from flute and clarinet to French horn and tuba, with a fingering chart for every note in the usual range, all twelve major scales, trill fingerings for flute and clarinet, seven beginner songs per instrument, and in-depth guides on the things band students ask about most.

The site is published by Evergreen Digital Media LLC, an Oregon company. There are no accounts, nothing to download, and nothing to buy to use any page.

What makes the charts different

Every chart is drawn from one table of fingerings per instrument, and every page is generated from those tables. The note card, the large view, the scale, the song and the printable PDF all come from the same entry, so a correction made once is fixed everywhere at the same time. Each card plays the pitch the instrument actually sounds, which matters for transposing instruments: the clarinet card for written C plays a concert B♭, the same note a tuner or piano will show.

Who it is for

Students in their first years of band, adults coming back to an instrument after a long break, players learning a second instrument, and teachers who want a clear chart for a classroom screen or a page to copy. Every page works on a phone.

How the content is checked

Fingerings are compared with published charts for each instrument, including manufacturer charts where they exist. Guides cite their sources at the end of each article, and factual statements link to those sources by number. The full process is on the editorial policy page.

How the site is paid for

The site is supported by advertising and by Amazon affiliate links to accessories such as reeds, valve oil and tuners. Links never decide which fingering is shown or what a guide recommends. See the affiliate disclosure and the privacy policy.

Corrections

If a fingering looks wrong for your instrument, send a note with the instrument, the note, and the fingering your teacher or method book uses. Every report is checked against the sources and the chart is updated when it is wrong.
