To prevent those notes from sounding terrible (terribly sharp) you have to push out the 3rd valve slide. Those notes will sound awful if all you do is push the correct valves down.

The Beginner’s Trumpet Fingering Chart:ĭownload the PDF Beginner’s Trumpet Fingering Chart That’s called mis-pitching and is rampant in the brass sections of beginning bands. Chances are that you’re playing the G above that D unintentionally. They are on the chart to help you figure out what is happening – for instance – when you think you’re playing a D with 1st and 3rd valves but it sounds too high. Some of them are hopelessly out-of-tune and others can be useful in special circumstances. Those are on this chart because they exist on your Trumpet. The quarter (smaller) notes are the higher ones that you’ll learn later and then there are the diamond-head notes. On this chart the whole (big) notes are the lowest and probably easiest to play. Force yourself to learn them so that you just see the note, and know which valves to put down. Don’t get in the habit of writing the fingerings in your music. Start now, while you are only dealing with a few notes then you can expand your knowledge one note at at time. Learn to recognize these notes by their placement on the staff, by their names, by their sound and by what you do with your body to play them. Lets get another thing straight right from the start. You’ve been adding length to the instrument and the group of available notes has been adjusting downward.ĭo the same thing with both of those valves down, then 2nd and 3rd, then 1st and 3rd and finally all 3. Again you should find some slightly lower notes. Now use your Right pointer finger only and push down the first valve – the one closest to your nose. There are more but let’s stick with these ones for now. See if you can play one or two of those notes. That makes a similar but slightly lower group of notes available. Now use your Right middle finger and push down the second valve – the one in the middle. Give them a try then move on. Don’t stop on the open notes and don’t bother with the higher notes yet. Chances are that you can only play one or two of them right now – that’s normal. The first notes below are all played without pushing down any valves. First Notes For Beginning Trumpet Players If you think I’ve miscounted you should know that the 3rd valve slide is the same length as 1st and 2nd combined. A Bugle page will come along soon! The valves on your modern Trumpet add various lengths of tubing which make it possible for you to play a Trumpet of 7 different lengths. This is one of the reasons that playing music is so good for you! In the old days trumpets had no valves and were limited to very few notes – like Bugle calls. The coordination of those things happens in the ears and right between them – in your brain. Every note you play requires coordination of which valves are down and what is going on with your body. It’s an explanation of how fingerings work on your Trumpet. This is not a regular fingering chart like the one in your Band method book. Trumpet Fingerings for Beginner Trumpet Players If symbols like F# and Bb mean nothing to you (that’s F Sharp and B flat) you might have a little Music Theory to catch up on. As your playing improves and you’re able to play more notes check back to this first chart. Start with the first one so you’ll understand what you’re doing.
You should need the second one pretty soon if things go well. The third one is where you’re headed but don’t start there if you’re a beginner. There are three Trumpet Fingering Charts here because we’re doing this on a “need to know” basis.
