How to Use a Fingering Chart in Band

In this video, Dr. Watson shares how to use a fingering (or slide position) chart to learn new notes on your band instrument. Topics include how to read a fingering diagram, alternate fingerings for notes, when a note can be referred to by two names (enharmonics such as F sharp and G flat), and other factors besides fingering that affect playing a note (embouchure and air support).
