Trill Charts

These are my trill charts. I split the trills into three pages - one for each octave - so it would be easier to read. If you have a trill question that cannot be answered on these pages, please send me e-mail at flute_27@hotmail.com and I will try to answer it for you. Thanks for visiting!

Trill Chart 2nd Octave | Trill Chart 3rd Octave

How to read this chart: The notes range from C1(the lowest C) to C4 (the highest C). The bold number/letter(s) indicates the fingers which are to be trilled. The numbers indicate which fingers are to be pressed, while the - means that finger is lifted. G# is the left-hand pinky key, Eb is the right hand pinky key. DT means Double Thumb key (B flat key). These trills are the same for piccolo from D1 up to C4.
