Description

The most comprehensive fingering charts for brass and woodwind instruments available.

“This is a must have app for every music teacher, students and enthusiast.”
Immediate access to fingerings (with alternates and trills) for each instrument’s entire playable range. Get fingerings from the written or concert pitch.

Woodwinds: Piccolo, Concert, Alto and Bass Flutes, Oboe and Cor Anglais, Soprano, Alto, Bass and Contrabass Clarinets, Bassoon and Contrabassoon, Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Baritone Saxophones

The 'Piano' instrument simultaneously displays the note names, the locations on the piano, and the musical notations of up to 5 pitches in either Treble, Alto, Tenor or Bass clef. The Notation can be transposed for most all instrumental transpositions.

• All woodwinds have trill fingerings for minor 2nd and major 2nd intervals.
• Flutes and Saxophones have additional fingerings for minor 3rd and major 3rd trills.
• Alto and Tenor Sax include altissimo fingerings up to written F, two octaves above the top line F of the treble clef.
• All Woodwinds include visual guides to the key names and locations on the instrument to understand the fingering charts better.
• Trombones include position guides for the different valve combinations.

Common Clefs for Select Instruments:
• Bassoon and Contrabassoon include Treble, Tenor and Bass clefs.
• Bb/F Tenorbass Trombone, Bb/F/Gb/D Bass Trombone, Euphonium and Baritone include Treble, Tenor and Bass clefs.
• F/Bb Double French Horn, BBb Tuba, CC Tuba, Eb Tuba, and F Tuba include Treble and Bass clefs.

Treble clef on the brass instruments follow British Band tradition of being in transposing notation for non-transposing instruments. Affects Bb/F Tenorbass and Bb/F/Gb/D Bass Trombones, Euphonium, Baritone, and BBb, Eb and F Tubas.

How to Use:
Pick a written note (touch the staff) and have the fingering displayed and concert pitch played. Touch a button and reveal the note on the piano.
Play a concert pitch on the piano, and have that pitch's fingering displayed. Touch a button and reveal the transposed note written on the staff.

• If there are alternate fingerings available for a note or trill, a button will allow you to navigate through them.
• Use the 'Play Note' or 'Play Trill' button to repeatedly hear what's being displayed.
• Use the mute button to access the fingerings without hearing the pitches.

Selecting a Pitch:
Using the Staff (transposed for the current instrument): Simply touch and slide up and down on the staff to select the note, slide to the right or left of the note for sharps and flats.
Using the Piano (concert pitch): drag in the area below the keyboard to move the keyboard, touch to play notes, touch & slide to change the pitch. When you glissando up the keyboard, notes will be notated as a raised value (sharps), when you glissando down, notes will be notated as lowered values (flats).
Use the up and down arrows to move chromatically up and down without touching the music staff or piano keyboard.

Amazing resource

Great app overall. I have one critical update request to make the app much easier to use with students: PLEASE allow an option to switch to “light mode” from within the settings of the app. The dark mode visuals on the app are difficult for students to read. Since many of us use dark mode on our iOS devices overall, I have to switch to light mode on my entire phone or iPad every time I want to use the app with a student (and then back again afterwards). This is very time-consuming and annoying. Please fix this issue. Thank you!

Fantastic resource!

This has been on my iPod, iPhone, and iPad for many years now and has always been helpful when I have a brain fart on my woodwind fingerings for alternates and trills. Its also a quick way to give a clear visual to students so that I don’t have to say numbers and spin an instrument around wildly to show which fingers are used. This is particularly helpful for beginning clarinetists with too many pinky keys to handle.

Some helpful ideas:
1. fix the piccolo finger chart (it is VERY atypical for a piccolo to have a low D-flat or C).
2. Incorporate some extended range fingers (clarinet is already screaming high, but some standard rep has flutes going up to D and higher and almost all modern saxophone repertoire will have a G6 at least)
3. Add a chart for recorders! Both Baroque and German. (This is actually a recent need for me and what is leading to me writing a review today). Many musicals ask woodwind doublers to include recorder in their arsenal, so this would be very helpful to that group.

Make your own fingering option

I love this app. Always use it when I’m need of a reference. But there should an option to create your own fingerings and write notes for that fingering. I am a professional who sometimes uses alternate fingerings to change tone or make passages smoother. This feature would make leagues easier to keep up with my ever growing library of fingerings.
