I learned CC fingerings when I was a freshman in college (back in the mid 70's). The way that I did it (on the advice of my teacher) was to start with exercise #1 in the Arban's book (I used the trombone edition down the octave) and keep going. Concentrate on getting them correct (play as slowly as needed), do not transpose from BB flat fingerings, and just put in the time. I was playing tuba duets in about two days, and fluent in about one month. Do not be intimidated by the task, many of us did it!

best of luck,
