Fingerings For Major Piano Scales

Correct fingering is very important. The following fingerings are for the left and right hand only when playing major scales.

When playing a major scale, always put the 5 finger from your left hand on the first note of the scale. The same rule applies for the 1 finger with the right hand.

If you were playing a C major scale (with both hands) the above picture illustrates the correct position for each hand. That is, by starting with your 5 finger on your left hand and your 1 finger on your right hand.

Time after time, I have come across pianists who cannot read music well and rely on memorization to save them. Do you admire pianists who can just pick up any piece of sheet music and play without stumbling?
