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.

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

I wanted to learn everything so I bought the 300 page lesson , Introduction to chords 101, 102. I have the Christmas chord collection, I listen to chat sessions all the time. Now I’m feeling inundated with so much material and not a clue where to start. You were absolutely right when you said you’ve got to have a plan and I need one. Can you help me?

I love the fingering chart!

I learned my scales by reading sheet music with the finger numbers below each note, and it was awful. So much easier to just look at a chart and say, “Oh, okay, Gb is 2-3-4-1-2-3-1-2.” I don’t know why the other way is so much harder, but it is.

To any beginners – I strongly urge you to use Jermaine’s method to learn the major scales and the correct fingering. It will save you hundreds of hours of heartache.
