Printable Clarinet Fingering Chart
This is the complete clarinet fingering chart as a free printable PDF — every one of the 42 notes from low E3 to altissimo A6, with the same diagrams you see on this site. It is made for two places: the classroom wall, where a beginner can check a note without a phone, and the front of a practice folder, where it survives a whole school year of being folded, dropped and sat on.
Download the PDFs
A second PDF, the blank worksheet, prints the same chart with empty diagrams for quizzes and fingering homework.
Both PDFs are free for classroom and personal use. Print them, copy them for your class, pin them on the wall — please just do not resell them or post them as your own product.
What is in the chart
The filled chart groups the notes by register — Chalumeau, throat tones, Clarion and Altissimo — exactly as the online chart does, and marks the published alternate fingerings where the site gives them (the E♭ lever and the trill-key B♭ among them). The blank worksheet keeps the same register grouping and the same order, so a teacher can point at a row on the wall chart and set the matching row as a test. Both PDFs are generated from the same data file as the online chart, so they can never drift apart.
The full chart, online
Prefer to check a note on screen, hear it, or look up one fingering at a time? The clarinet fingering chart has all of it — and every note below links to its own page with the diagram, the sound and the fingering in words.

Printing tips
Print the filled chart once, in colour if you can, and laminate it for the wall or a shared folder. Print blank worksheets as consumables: one per student per test, or one per week as a "fill in the five notes you learned" homework. Because the diagrams use filled and open circles rather than colour coding, a black-and-white photocopy loses nothing — the chart survives the school copier intact.
Try a note in the Fingering Finder
Pick an instrument and a note and the diagram updates instantly — filled keys are the ones you press. The same finder sits on every note page, pre-set to that note.

Is the printable clarinet fingering chart really free?
Yes — both PDFs are free to download and print, with no sign-up. They are free for classroom and personal use; please do not resell them or repost them as your own product.
Does the PDF match the online clarinet chart?
Exactly. The PDFs and the online chart are generated from the same fingering data, which is checked against two published sources (the Yamaha clarinet guide and the Woodwind Fingering Guide). If a fingering is ever corrected on the site, the PDF is regenerated from the corrected data.
Is there a beginner version?
The blank worksheet doubles as the beginner tool: beginners fill in only the notes they have learned, register by register. The First 5 Notes on Clarinet guide in our guides section is the gentlest starting point.
