Fingering Charts

I cre­at­ed the first ver­sions of these charts in 2012, as an aid to my own teach­ing. I was tired of giv­ing stu­dents oth­er peo­ple’s fin­ger­ing charts cov­ered in my mod­i­fi­ca­tions, so I made my own with all of my stan­dard fin­ger­ings. I’ve made dif­fer­ent ver­sions to suit the needs of bas­soon­ists at dif­fer­ent levels—you can read the details below. The fin­ger­ing dia­grams them­selves were cre­at­ed with Bret Pimentel’s excel­lent Fin­ger­ing Dia­gram Builder, and did the rest of the lay­out in Lily­Pond. I’m mak­ing all of these charts avail­able under a Cre­ative Com­mons Attri­bu­tion-Non­Com­mer­cial-Share­Alike 3.0 Unport­ed (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0) license. This basi­cal­ly means that you’re free to copy, redis­trib­ute, remix, trans­form, and build upon, them as long as it’s for non­com­mer­cial use, you give your work the same license, and give me cred­it. As I update these charts or add new ver­sions, I’ll post them here.
