LH: 5,4,3,2,1,3,2,1 Some scales have particular fingering because the placement of the black keys in the scale. Remember that for both hands, your thumbs are "1" and your pinkies are "5". Some of these scales can be called by 2 different names. I will use the easiest name for the scale but also let you know what the other name is. The Piano Music Scales:

 G Major Scale  D Major Scale  A Major Scale  E Major Scale  B Major Scale - also Cb Major Scale  F Major Scale  Bb Major Scale  Eb Major Scale  Ab Major Scale  Db Major Scale - also C# Major Scale  Gb Major Scale - also F# Major Scale  If you want to play these scales more than one octave this is what you do: in most scales, replace finger 5 with finger 1 and start the pattern over again. Reverse the pattern of the fingering for going back down again.Those are all of the major scales. Happy practising! Return from Piano Music Scales to Piano Lessons Info Homepage.
