Piano Music Scales:
Fingers and Notes
Here are piano music scales in the treble and bass clef with their fingering. Most scales have the same fingering:
RH: 1,2,3,1,2,3,4,5
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.
