Terms of Use
The short version: this site is a free educational reference. Use it, print it for your class, and link to it freely — and understand that it supports music education rather than replacing a teacher.
What this site is
FingeringChartly is an educational reference for wind and brass fingerings. Every chart is compiled from published sources (named on each chart page) and checked against at least two of them before publication. It is written for students, parents, teachers and community players.
Education, not instruction
A fingering chart shows where fingers go; it cannot hear you play. Nothing on this site replaces a qualified music teacher, and fingering choices in real music — alternates, trills, adjustments for a particular instrument — are ultimately the player's and teacher's judgement. Where sources disagree, the site says so and explains its choice; your teacher's word on your instrument outranks any chart, including this one.
Accuracy and corrections
We work to keep every fingering accurate, and we correct errors at the data level so one fix corrects the chart, the note pages, the Finder and the PDFs together. Even so, no guarantee is made that every fingering suits every instrument, system or player — instruments differ (Baroque and German recorders, three- and four-valve brass, single and double horns), and the site marks those differences where they exist. If you find an error, please report it; reports are checked against the sources and answered.
The printable PDFs
The printable charts and blank worksheets are free for classroom and personal use: print them, copy them for your students, pin them on the wall. They may not be resold, bundled into a paid product, or republished as your own work. If you want to share them, link to the printable fingering charts page so people always reach the current version.
Accounts and costs
There are no accounts on this site and nothing to buy. No part of the site requires registration, and we will never add a paywall in front of a chart that is free today without saying so plainly on the page.
External links
Chart pages link to the published sources the fingerings were checked against, and guides link to relevant outside material. Those sites are outside our control; a link is a reference, not an endorsement, and their content can change without notice.
Changes to these terms
If these terms change, the change will be made on this page. The version here is the version that applies. Questions about anything on this page: hello@fingeringchartly.com.
