Fingerboard Geography
If you are familiar with Barbara Barber‘s Fingerboard Geography, the first five pages of flashcards are for the red finger patterns. Then page 11 has the cards that show a low 2nd finger. These are the pitches for a blue finger pattern. Next on page 13 you will find the high 3 fingers. This helps violinist learn the pitches that create a yellow finger pattern. On page 15 you will find the fingerboards that are identical to page 13. But the back of the cards have the enharmonic names. Finally, pages 17 and 19 are low 1. Like high 3 these low 1 flashcards have both enharmonic names using sharps or flats.
How to Print the Flashcards
If your printer does not have the duplex option you will need to print the front and back pages separately. Print the odd numbered pages first. These are all the fingerboard pictures. The front side of the card. Then following your printers direction, place the sheets back in the printer. Print the even numbered pages on the back side of the fingerboard graphic. Then using scissors cut along the dotted lines.
