To use the trumpet fingering chart, simply find the note you want to play on the chart and then use the corresponding fingering. For example, to play the note C, you would use the fingering 123. To play the note G, you would use the fingering 13.

The French horn fingering chart is more complex than the trumpet fingering chart, as it requires the use of both the valves and the slide. The chart is divided into three sections, with the first section covering the notes in the lower register, the second section covering the notes in the middle register, and the third section covering the notes in the upper register.

To use the French horn fingering chart, you will need to first find the note you want to play on the chart. Then, you will need to find the corresponding fingering for the valve(s) and the slide. For example, to play the note C, you would use the fingering 123 and the slide in the first position.

However, the trombone fingering chart is more complex, as it includes the use of the trigger. The chart is divided into three sections, with the first section covering the notes in the lower register, the second section covering the notes in the middle register, and the third section covering the notes in the upper register.

To use the trombone fingering chart, you will need to first find the note you want to play on the chart. Then, you will need to find the corresponding fingering for the valve(s),the slide, and the trigger. For example, to play the note C, you would use the fingering 123 and the slide in the first position.
