The Rubank Elementary Method Book has both the Albert & Boehm system
fingering charts. They are printed on the same sheet. The Albert chart is
on one side and the Boehm on the other side. And it only costs around $6 or
$7. You can get this at any band instrument store (not so-called music
stores that sell mainly guitars and keyboards). Just be sure that it hasn't
fallen out of the copy that you buy as it is not bound into the book.
