Every key, ten scales, and the classic practice patterns — each drawn as a path of fingerings, textbook or smart.

The path itself — notice where the slide or valves change and where they stay put.
Degrees: 1 · 2 · 3 · 4 · 5 · 6 · 7 · written pitch
h = harmonic number. Filled dot = valve down. “3rd sl.” / “1st sl.” = that valve slide goes out to fix a sharp combination. Outlined cards are where the smart route leaves the textbook.
note 1: C
Open (no valves) · harmonic 2
Written C · sounds B♭ concert.
Switch between Textbook and Smart route: the smart route only reaches for an alternate fingering when it saves real finger work — alternates are a tool for trills, fast runs and tuning, not a replacement for the chart.
