2nd & 3rd fingers are more rarely close than wide. A 1 octave D maj scale 0 1 3 4 0 1 3 4 Or a C Maj 4 0 1 2 4 0 1 2. Do you use Strange fingerings for inexperienced students? D flat scale may require a 3 as Tonic & 2 as Leading note but by the time students are playing these difficult scales this should have been sorted. Also if you are playing a 1 octave D Maj Scale, why insist on having the 2nd finger (F nat) close to the 1st when it isnt even heard anyway? Let it follow the 3rd (F#).

"2nd & 3rd fingers are more rarely close than wide."
I totally disagree.

I find generally speaking that apart from in a chromatic ascending or descending passage we don't often use the second and the third fingers. In fact never for beginners. I encourage "expressive" intonation which exaggerates the closeness of semi-tones. IE to flatten minor thirds or sharpen leading notes. As a result the only finger patterns would be 1-2-4 or 1-3-4. The 2nd and 3rd fingers can be close in either case.

"The 2nd and 3rd fingers can be close in either case."
I prefer to nip that in the bud and not have have the student develop that habit. You'll have to break it later.
