Directions:
Simply touch and drag up and down on the staff to select the note, slide right for sharp, left for flat, or slide up and down near either edge for constant sharps or flats.
When playing the keyboard; swipe to move the keyboard, tap to play notes, touch & hold then slide to glissando. When you glissando up, notes will be notated in sharps, when you glissando down, notes will be notated in flats. When you tap specific notes they will be notated in the most common accidental for that note. ie: Eb rather than D#, F# rather than Gb.
If there are alternate fingerings available for a note or trill, a button will allow you to navigate through them.
It includes a mute button as well as a step controller to move chromatically up and down without touching the music staff or piano keyboard.

Da Best
Great app. Accurate. I teach instrumental music in Jr. High and High School. I use it regularly every year. Shows alternate fingerings and trills. When students see the app, they want to download it for themselves as well.

Yay!
One of the most helpful music apps out there, absolutely necessary for music educators and music education students!

Great tool
Fantastic tool for any band director!

Sax player
There are notes missing on altissimo.

Good app
Needs to have an option to see their pitch rather than the default concert pitch. Include more alternate fingerings for woodwinds as well. With those options I would rate it 5 stars.

This is an all-in-one fingering App
This is a must have for all:
1. Band masters.
2. Music directors & Conductors
3. Aspiring Instrumentalists
4. Music Students
5. Music fun and hobbyist
This app is understandable whether one can read music or not. I recommend it to every music professional. You will not regret this purchase.

Incredible help!
This is one of the best apps I paid money for. It is worth every penny! Just buy it!!!
2013-07-06
Um...?!
It's a great app but could you please put all the fingerings on there?! I'd like to be able to figure out all of them WITHOUT going to my other apps......

Fixed the problem
Upgrade loaded after I deleted then reinstalled the app.

Love it!
As a music educator this is an amazing and comprehensive fingering app that every band director should have!

Awesome and Very Useful!!!
This app is awesome and very useful. Here's what will make this a five star app. As a band director myself, there are some alternate fingerings that are missing. For example, for trumpet...4th space E (concert D), there's an alternate fingering for that note and that is 1st and 2nd valve. Also...4th space Eb (Concert Db) can also be played as 2nd & 3rd valve. It doesn't show that. Another example, the flute fingering for Bb, there are 3 different fingerings for that note and it only shows the main fingering. I'm sure these are not the only ones missing. Fix this and I'll give it 5 stars.

Awesome update
Adding the mute button and fully supporting the Tenor and Bass trombone (accurately I may add!) are great changes from a responsive developer. This is now my go to app for fingering. Thanks!

Great app
Excellent app! Fingerings for the clarinet are great, especially for finding alternate fingerings. The most recent update makes finding chromatic fingerings much easier. Solid app all around.

Excellent
Great app, helps me everyday with fingerings for the C tuba.
2010-07-16
Very Nice! (Update Suggestions)
This is a very good app! I would recommend changing the title "Concert" to "Sounds" or a combination of the two. Also, I would suggest adding the title, "Written" to the actual written notes being selected.
The Trombone needs a title change as well. The "Tenor/Bass Trombone" is, in my experience, an inaccurate name. It is a "Tenor Trombone". A Bass Trombone currently, has two valves (Typically set up as F/Gb/D, depending on the valve configuration).
All in all, this is the best fingering chart app I have seen so far.
Thank you!

Almost perfect, but needs Eb and F tuba fingerings.
