Hi folks,

I am wondering if anyone can point me toward some scale charts on the web that include the fingerings for each note.

Cheers,

Paul

If you are at this stage of learning trumpet I recommend you go out and buy yourself a copy of Arbans. It has the fingerings in it and graduated exercises that range from "day 1 beginner" to "fully-qualified professional".

A heck of a lot better investment than buying another mouthpiece!

This source has some nice scales to print, but I could find no fingering whatsoever. Maybe if you bought all the materials? I printed them out and then had to put fingerings in where I didn't know them (most) and still question whether I'm 100 percent correct at times.

Arturo Sandoval's instructional books (Playing Techniques and Performance Studies for Trumpet, Vol. 1, 2 and 3, by Arturo Sandoval have a page at the beginning with all the fingerings from pedal tones to double high C, but these have to be added to the Trumpet Studio Scales to get what us neophytes are looking for.

Arban's has a beginning page with fingerings, too, but it doesn't go high or low enough. Arban's gives a few fingerings near the beginning (not in the Scales section, however), so I find myself either making mistakes a lot until I learn or putting in the fingerings (where there is little room to do so) until I get them automatized. I keep plugging away and am pretty good at three or four sharps and flats. In a while I'll be up to five sharps and flats, hopefully, then six or seven. Accidentals and other less-used low and high notes easily slow me down.

It's amazing that someone can't publish all the scales with all the fingerings at least once in their books, for reference.

It's so important to know the scales perfectly at a fairly high tempo but they're not given enough attention. One day I may look back on beginners and wonder why they have so much trouble.

Well,yes in this site you find only the usually chromatic scale, from low F sharp to double G,out of staff(quite a good range).But not the fingerings,scale by scale.(PDF document to download)

This a nice web site, but it doesn't seem to have what the original question asked for--all the scales with all the trumpet fingering for those scales.

So far, no one has provided a reference for that. The only solution seems to be to take scales and insert one's own fingering notations, or make up the scales from scratch with the fingering in.

The assumption seems to be that fingering can be given one time in isolated exercises and it is from then on cemented in the mind and fingers, so there's no need to have finger-marked scales even for reference.

The fingerings within Arban are more than sufficient for someone starting out on the trumpet as they encompass the "normal" range of the trumpet/cornet.

The reason you cannot find what you are looking for is that most tutors assume that you will learn a particular fingering e.g. G# 2+3 by doing some exercises using that note and then you will have learned that fingering. OK you will need to remind yourself of that fingering when you next bump into it but you will remember what you are doing.

To get what you want there is no harm in getting all the scales which are available from many websites, print them out and then get the first page of arban and refer from one to the other and write the fingerings out underneath. It's a bit of work but it is also a learning experience where you will start to recognise the fingering patterns as you write them out.
