Proper fingering for the 12 major scales – Lesson 9

The way you strike the keys of your piano is very important. To enable easy and uniform movement on the piano, you have to use the correct fingering. Especially when you want to solo over a song or even play chords.

We would take the key of C for an example:

C             D             E              F              G             A             B             C

d             r               m             f                s              l               t              d

The fingering for the left hand is

5              4              3              5              4              3              2              1

d              r              m             f                s              l               t              d

The fingering for the right hand is

1              2              3              1              2              3              4              5

d              r              m             f               s              l                t              d
