Soprano Recorder
Fingering Chart Guide |
An
Explanation of the Charts we use on this website:
To the left is a picture of a soprano
recorder. We have all of the holes numbered to correspond with the
numbers on the holes on the chart to the right of it. The 0 represents
the hole in the back of the recorder that the thumb of the left hand
is used to cover. Numbers 1-7 represent the holes in the front of the
recorder that the fingers of both hands are used to cover. The left
hand is used for holes 0-3, with the thumb being used for hole 0 (in
the back), the index finger of the left hand for hole 1, the middle
finger of the left hand for hole 2 and the middle finger of the left
hand for hole 3. The remaining holes 4-7 are covered by the fingers of
the right hand; the index, middle, ring and pinky fingers. |
