....probably you could say that fingerings with two fingers down, but a
finger in between them is up, are more difficult for beginners. A book
with fingering diagrams would show you which fingerings are this way.

Also, intervals that require more fingers to move at once, or in
opposite directions, can be more challenging for a beginner. For
example, you can get to chalumeau B from Bb in two different ways, but
one of them involves merely dropping an additional finger, whereas the
other involves lifting one finger and dropping another. The fingering
aspect of crossing the break can be a hassle sometimes because the first
note above the break (B natural) involves a lot of fingers.

Again, a book with diagrams will show yo all this stuff.
