| This Fingering Chart applies to
all Recorders that read music off of the Treble/G Clef.
Recorders in C (Soprano/Descant Recorders) will finger a
written Middle C as all fingers down (bell hole still
open). Recorders in F (Sopranino and Alto/Treble
Recorders will finger a written F above middle C (F4) as
all fingers down (again, with bell hole still open).
Sopranino and Soprano Recorders will sound a P8 (one
Octave) above written. Alto and Tenor Recorders will
sound the written pitch. Alternatively, in order to simplify playing F Recorders for those who only know the C Recorder Fingerings, the music written for for F Recorders may be transposed down a P4 (Perfect Fourth - 5 half-steps) The Sopranino would then sound up a P12 (P8 and a P4 up) from the written note, and the Alto will sound up a P4. However, you should view this only as a temporary convenience. It is best to eventually learn to read F Recorder music as its written. |
