The valves in our trumpets are pretty simple things. When you press the first valve for example (the one closest to the mouthpiece), your airstream is sent through the tubing connected to the first valve which changes the pitch of the note. To learn more about how the valves work in your Trumpet, Cornet, and Flugelhorn, refer to our post on how Trumpet Valves work and the effect each valve and fingering combination below, affects the note you are playing.
Below is a b flat trumpet fingering chart. The good news is that you can also use this as a b flat cornet fingering chart. Oh and how about as a b flat flugelhorn fingering chart. Use it for trumpet fingering to play along with our Trumpet Sheet Music in trumpet accessories.
