Instrument Fingering Charts
A fingering chart shows which keys, valves, or finger positions produce each note on a given instrument. For woodwind instruments like the flute and saxophone, the chart shows which tone holes to cover and which side keys to engage. For brass instruments like the trumpet, it shows which combination of valves to press. For trombone, it shows the 7 slide positions. For string instruments like the violin, a position chart shows where to place the left-hand fingers on each string to produce each note. These charts are essential references for beginning students learning the instrument and intermediate players adding new notes to their range. Each chart on this site includes SVG diagrams showing the physical hand position, a table of standard fingerings covering the full chromatic range, and where applicable: alternate fingerings for better intonation or technical convenience, trill fingerings, and high-register or altissimo fingerings. Whether you are just starting out on flute, revisiting slide technique on trombone, or mapping violin positions for the first time, these charts give you an accurate, printable reference built from authoritative sources.
