Ken is right. There are no "tricks", but there are a few things that helped me lots when I learned CC fingerings (once I got the new horn). 1. Go back to the old books that you used in Middle School (Rubank Method, the Yamaha series or (my favorite) the Hal Leonard books). They contain lots of easy exercises that you already know, but you have to finger correctly to get them to play right. 2. Do lots of scales and scale exercises THAT YOU READ. Just doing scales from memory won't help you to transition to CC. 3. Sight read like crazy. Go get a new book and work the exercises. Get material that you've never seen before and work it out, using the new horn. 4. Don't forget the fundamentals. Make "Song and Wind" your mantra. Good luck!
