How to use the trill chart
Finger the lower note as shown. Keep the dark keys down the whole time and move only the gold ones, as fast and evenly as you can.
A gold key that starts pressed is lifted for the upper note. A gold key that starts open is pressed for the upper note.
Other trills at this level can usually be played with the normal fingerings for both notes. See the flute fingering chart.
