Answer 1

For the most part the fingerings are the same. There are also several alternate fingerings for each note, these help make the piccolo more in tune so ppl don't get such an earache when you play with a group. If you get a more expensive piccolo, you typically don't have to use the alternate fingerings, but they are good to know. There are several books with the fingerings listed, if I find them online later I'll add them.
The piccolo is a member of the flute family, it's smaller, pitched in the key of c, and plays an octave higher than the c flute. Tuning wise they are the opposite of the c flute, flat in the upper register and sharp when you get into the lower register. The embouchure is about the same, but people tend to pinch more when playing the piccolo, which makes it play out of tune. It's best to play With the head joint pulled out a bit and the cork in the head joint aligned slightly off center. One must also open their jaws more for the piccolo than the flute.
The main thing to remember is that piccolo players can't hide in the band. You're gong to stick out no matter what, since that is what the instrument is designed to do. If you are afraid and try to hide, your tone will go to pieces.

Answer 2

my terrific chum performs the flute and the piccolo. they are the comparable fingering, yet a piccolo is a lot smaller and is bigger pitched. she says that the piccolo is particularly extra good by using fact she has fat arms (her words, no longer mine) yet she's first chair and loves her piccolo and she or he suggested she likes the flute too, however the piccolo is her well-liked. Piccolos are additionally so lots extra high priced to purchase and restoration, if that concerns to you.

Answer 7

There is absolutely no difference in fingerings. Your embouchure will change some, though. You just have to get used to it, though, and be able to switch back and forth.
