Major scale fingering

Posted on 05 August 2006 See Comments | Post Comment

 

The "Secrets to Playing Piano By Ear" course covers everything from the basics and fundamentals to Cmin13 (b9b5) chords. The following lesson focuses on chapter four from the course. If you are already familiar with major scale fingerings, you may skip this lesson.

 

Fingerings for major scales (02)

 

Note: Please pay attention to this lesson as you will need to know how to play scales when forming various major chords.

Note: Disregard the "SLXYZ" numbers (if any) as they refer to sound examples. Our 300-pg course comes with a CD with over 330 sound examples which can be heard with the click of a button. (Example: SL003)

 

This concludes lesson #2. This lesson is just half of what our course covers on major scales! To see how you can get this chapter with tons of written and interactive exercises, along with 19 other chapters, please click here

    Hey Jermaine,

    2 questions:

    1) Why didn’t you guys include the fingering for going back down the scale? Am I to assume it’s always simply the forward fingering in reverse? That didn’t seem to work with a couple of them, like E flat for instance.

    2. Should we practice doing the scales with both hands together, or separately? Or, master them separately then together?
    Thanks,
    Ron

    this is my comment, i have already been through the major scales, but dicide to look back at this lesson for revisions, to my knowledge of major scales, the fingering you gave for the scales are indeed correct,before writing this comment i took the time to check,… carefully… on the fingering of the scales and found them to be in the correct order given internationally…,to up coming musicican, please let us check our notes carefully when given,

    TO TEACHER JERMAINE,
    KEEP ON IMPARTING MUSIC, ITS SO VITAL FOR THE SOUL
