[musictlk] fingering charts for French Horn

[Steve Jacobson]

Richard,

I may have misunderstood something here, but what are you looking for in terms of fingering charts?  If you need to know which valves are pressed to create which notes, this is usually part of the instructional process from what I remember from my trumpet and valve trombone days.  Different instructors will have different approaches to how to incorporate fingering and may want her to learn fingering in a particular sequence.  Please accept my apology in advance if I have not understood your question.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Good thought— Library of Congress had not occurred to me. I will look into that.

Thanks!

We’re working getting a horn for her presently.  I’d love to find her a braille fingering chart, and also any descriptive info we can find on how to play.  The info could be in braille or just text that she can read on an Apex, etc., but I’m not sure how to best present the fingering chart.  Diagrams and videos are only useful to the point where we’re able to describe them accurately.  Surely we din’t need to recreate the chart at least— someone must offer this in Braille somewhere.
