Included in the chart are:

• Fingering diagrams for the most common fingerings for all the notes in the standard range of the bassoon
• A separate chart of the most common and useful alternate fingerings
• All twelve major and relative minor scales and arpeggios
• Chromatic scale
• Cross-references to alternate fingerings used in specific scale and arpeggios
