C Major Scale Fingering - Easy Piano Technique Lesson

http://fastpianolessons.com

The fingering for the C major scale is
1231234.
While you're playing, make sure that your fingers are relaxed and not lifting up from the keys. If you're playing a note with your index finger, your pinky should still be touching the keys.
Practicing scales not only helps give you more control over your fingers, it helps you understand harmony and improvising better.

[chrismarx85]

You switch fingers/cross over in the same spot.

@chrismarx85

your technique is horrible

[UmphreysProwler]

Thanks my man, just now trying to learn proper techniques after much procrastination. This helps a lot. I'm guessing this won't be the same with every scale right?

[54MProductions]

is it the same fingering for every other scale?

[ImmortalSpecies]

@chrismarx85 No, he's right. Keep your wrist on the same position and don't freakin slide. You'll damage your hands.

I always have thought that we were supposed to repeat the top note for scales! Could someone tell me whether we have to repeat the top note? Because I thought the scales should be played in groups of 4 notes per beat and hence we have to repeat the top note. But in a piano exam, do I have to repeat the top note? Please reply if you know what I am talking about in regards to AMEB exam. Cheers!

@alittleless16 yep
