I can only find one brand of flash cards for clarinet which shows fingering. Well, it claims to show fingering but not in any conventional way. Rather than providing a visual including the keys, it assigns each key a number which you must memorize first, in order to read the fingering.
I cannot find any flash cards with conventional fingering notation. Can anyone help?
Stay away from the ones made by Notes and Strings Company out of Colorado.
Thanks,
Nancy

Ok, I'll venture the dumb question: Why would you want to use flash cards to memorize fingerings? Why not just practice a bit with a fingering chart handy so you can get used to what it feels and sounds like?

Well, I said I'd venture the dumb question but wouldn't it be more cumbersome that way? I mean, you look at a fingering chart, you play the note, you do this as many times as you need to until you internalize the fingering. Unless, she needs to be able to pass a quiz based upon picture recognition.

Nancy -
If you're trying to learn fingerings, flash cards are the wrong way to do it. They add a step between seeing the note and playing it. I began that way, but didn't progress until I learned to skip the intermediate step. That is, I learned to see a note and make the correct fingering. You go by how it feels, not how it looks.
As Steve says, the right way is to get a scale book and learn not individual notes but the finger movements necessary to go from one note to another. You learn to play in "chunks" -- to recognize a series of scale notes and play them in a single gesture -- a series of finger movements.
Music is about moving, not standing still.

however, flashcards can be good to help reading- 'quarter note, fermata, slur,' etc.
