This download is an empty fingerboard chart for the first position. The fingerings are suggested but by no means the rule. You could probably use them for any position on the violin. You would just have to modify the fingerings that are printed on the left hand side of the chart.

My students are assigned to fill out these charts with all the key signatures. They are then referred to when practicing scales. I also like to use these charts if there is a tricky passage in music. For example some music that has a sharp note and a flat note in the same measure. That music could be plotted on the blank fingerboard. Remember – a picture is worth a thousand words!

Once charts are filled out – students can play looking at the chart first, and then play looking at the music. I just love the “aha” moments students experience when using these charts!
