Summary
Details

This book aims to help beginners play the piccolo simply and easily. The book includes 36 piccolo diagrams with fingering positions, along with pitch names and staff notations and 36 illustrations of the fingering location on the piccolo itself. The piccolo is about half the size of a flute, and it sounds one octave higher. It plays the highest notes of the woodwind family. The piccolo also is a transposing instrument, and the piccolo's sheet music is never written at the pitch it actually sounds. Instead, the piccolo sounds one octave higher than its written pitch. The musical notes in this book cover almost 3 octaves from D4 to C7 (written). The resulting sound on the piccolo is from D5 to C8. Here are the primary fingerings (basic charts). Note that the book does not include Trill or Tremolo fingerings. You can print and cut out the charts to use them as flash cards or mount them on a wall as posters. Each note here has its own piece of paper. One side of the page shows the connection between the dots and their fingering on a diagram, and the reverse side depicts the same fingering illustration on the piccolo itself. Under the piccolo pictures, you will also find the fingering combinations depicted with the names of the keys. You may choose a style that is more understandable and comfortable for you. I hope these fingering charts will be a valuable visual aid for you and your kids or students. The size of the cut-out is 6.5x10 inches (16x25 cm).
