![]() ![]() Most fingering charts do not show this critical element of playing the right notes on the baritone/euphonium. For example, to play the A-flat note shown in the graphics here, you must press the 1st Valve and then buzz the mouthpiece up to the 3rd Partial. One of the coolest things about the StepWise charts is that they show which " partial" each note is on, or how high or low it must be "buzzed". (4th valve optional fingerings are shown on all StepWise charts.) This helps explain why some baritones have a 4th valve in order to get the 1-3 and 1-2-3 combinations in tune. The overtone series chart provides comprehensive information about available alternate positions. You may notice that the distance between each valve combination is slightly greater than the one before it.

Being able to see this order of valve combinations helps baritone players memorize the fingerings for chromatic motion. ![]() The valve combinations ( fingerings) used to play all the notes on the baritone/euphonium are shown along the bottom of each fingering chart, and are organized from shortest (open) to longest (1-2-3), similar to trombone positions. The Extended Range Chart shows an additional 5 notes in the higher register, and both charts show the alternate 4-valve fingerings. It is a powerful combination!ĭownload a printable PDF chart by right-clicking one of these links (BC is for Bass Clef, and TC is for Treble Clef). I like to print these stepwise fingering charts for my whole band on cardstock and pass them out in the first week of school, along with the fingering flashcards. This allows students in your band to keep this chart on their music stand and use it frequently as a quick reference. This free chart shows young musicians how the notes on the baritone are organized by fingering and partial, making it much easier to memorize them all!Īs a bonus, everything fits easily on one page. Other brass fingering charts do not organize the notes into the overtone series or according to the valve combinations, making it more difficult to make sense of the notes and fingering on the baritone, and how high or low each should be played. ![]()
