This book aims to help beginners play the saxophone. The book includes 33 saxophone diagrams with fingering positions and staff notation and 33 illustrations of the fingering location on the saxophone itself. The musical notes cover almost 3 octaves from A#3 to F#6. The most popular types of saxophones are alto, tenor, soprano, and baritone. These fingering charts are suitable for all of them. Here are the primary fingerings (basic charts). This book does not include the altissimo and trill fingerings. You can cut out the charts or use them directly from the booklet. Each note here has its own page in the book. One side of the page shows the connection between the dots and their fingering on a diagram, and the reverse side depicts the same fingering illustration on the musical instrument. Under the picture of the key, you will also find the fingering combinations depicted with the names of the key. Choose a style that makes it easier for you to learn. If you are a beginner/student or even more advanced, try hanging the individual pages on the wall in front of you. The size of the cut-out is 6.5x10 inches (16x25 cm).

This book aims to help beginners play the trumpet. The book includes 31 trumpet diagrams with fingering positions, along with pitch names and staff notations. Each note here has its own page in the book. The musical notes in this book cover almost 3 octaves from A#4 to C6. The sounds produced by the trumpet are a part of many forms of music, from jazz to classical. While modern trumpets have three piston or rotary valves, early trumpets had none. The purpose of the valves is to lengthen the tubing when engaged, allowing a lower pitch. By adding lengths of tubing to the trumpet, each valve performs a different function. The first valve lowers the pitch by two semitones, while the second and third lower it by a semitone and three semitones, respectively. When up, the trumpet valve allows air to pass straight through, but when pressed, a section of tubing is opened. In order to take full advantage of the sounds that can be produced, the valves play a key role.
