Close the Tone Holes and Play Some Notes

• Use the ball of your finger (not the tip) to cover the hole.
• Use your fingers in a relaxed, stress-free form.
 Finger Position
* The illustration below shows all tone holes being covered.
Since lower pitches are hard to produce without good embouchure and
sufficient airflow, let's try playing a "G".
 Fingering a "G"
Close the tone holes properly to achieve beautiful and stable tone, and good
pitch.
Fingerings for other pitches are provided from page 92.

Octave Key
The octave key is used for
playing notes above a
high "D". It is not used for
playing any other notes so
take care not to press the
octave key by mistake.
Put your right thumb under
the thumb hook to hold the
instrument securely.
