This fingering chart includes trill fingerings, which are fingerings designed for rapid alternation between two notes at an interval of a minor second (semitone) or a ma/or second (whole tone) apart. 8any of these fingerings can also be used as alternate fingerings for some fast passages. 1eys to be trilled are indicated in red. :hen more than one "ey is to be trilled, the "eys should be simultaneously pressed and simultaneously released, unless the description says to alternate pressing and releasing the "eys. These fingerings are intended for all sizes of flute (soprano, alto, and bass) and piccolo unless specified otherwise. Trill
