hey...i know that some of you are hardcore woodwind players, but I'm sure there are others who know a place where I can find a site that has the fingerings for brasswind instruments. I'm currently in college to be a music teacher and it would be a great resource for me later one. thanks

There aren't so many websites devoted to brass fingerings because they are so simple. Each brass instrument has only three or four keys. These lower the pitch by 1, 2, 3 and 5 semitones and can be used in combination to get all the other combinations. Everything else is done with lip control, so brass players don't usually bother with fingering charts.

Try BandTek.com im a trombone player and i had went there to find fingerings for low notes that need a trigger.Youll find Trumpet/Mellophone/Alto Horn fingerings, also Double Horn(French Horn in F and Bb)fingerinmgs for both sides, trombone/ baritone and tuba fingerings.Trumpet/Mello/Alto and Horn all use the same fingerings, just different ranges.

Gnomon the exception is the TYrombone, which has a difficult slide, cuz we never know when we're out of the desired position, its also wicked hard on fast songs, i sjould know ive been playin it 4 3 years.

Deshuan, I certainly didn't mean to suggest that playing any of these instruments was simple! I've tried trumpet and it is not easy. But the fingering part of it is fairly easy.
