If you’ve got a youngster just starting out in a school band, these fingering chart apps are for you—and your young musician! They’re all from Critical Apps, and while only one of them has any reviews yet, they’re all test-drive enabled so you can try before you buy.
The concept behind the apps is simple: they display fingering charts for different notes and note combinations, so your music student can have her practice sheet music open to play and also have a fingering chart on the Kindle Fire to determine correct finger placement on the instrument keys.
