Trumpet Fingerings - Level 1

​The second line G uses no valves!

​We call this fingering "open"

​Remember to use good posture and to use fast air!

​F uses the first valve, the pointer finger

​It is in the first space of the treble clef

The first line E uses not just the first valve, but the second as well

​Don't forget to keep your trumpet parallel to the ground!

​D uses the first and third valve

​This D below the staff requires kicking out the ring finger on the left hand.

​Like G, C is open and requires no valves

​Keep your feet firmly on the floor

​You can pull the third valve tuning slide back now
