Recorder Fingering is an interactive fingering chart for recorders. It lists basic fingerings, alternate fingerings and trill fingerings. The current version supports Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass recorders using the Baroque (aka English) fingering system. (This is the most common recorder fingering system in use today.) To use the app, you first select a recorder type. Then select a note by touching and dragging over the staff and/or hitting the arrows. For chromatics you must use the arrows. Then for each note you can touch a button for the basic, alternate or trill fingerings. Beginner players will find this app useful for the basic fingerings. Intermediate and advanced players will find it useful for the alternate and trill fingerings. The alternate fingerings are great for helping you through technically challenging passages.
