B flat major scale piano fingering1/11/2024 All scales that start on black keys follow the same left hand fingering except the key of Gb.For Grade 3, students should be quite familiar with playing white-key scales with both hands if they have gone through the grade 2 syllabus. You will be happy to hear that we finish with a nice simple relationship to remember. Notice that the cross over is reversed in relation to the right hand fingering, on the way up the scales in the left hand, the finger goes over the top, and on the way down the thumb tucks underneath. The left hand fingering for major scales follows a similar relationship to the right hand fingering in that all of the scales starting on white notes follow the same left hand fingering, except the key of B Major. The right hand fingering for the scales starting on black keys is not as consistent as for the white keys, but there are some important points to remember which will speed up the memorisation process. So we just have the fingering for 5 black note keys to remember. The white keys cover 7 of the 12 notes in octave and the black notes cover 5 of the notes in the octave. All of these keys except the key of F follow the exact same right hand fingering. There are 7 keys which start on white notes, we have the keys of C, D, E, F, G, A, & B. We will begin with the right hand fingering for the keys which start on white notes. We are going to demonstrate all of these scales over 2 octaves and we will also discuss the proper technique. You will be glad to hear that many of the major scales follow the exact same fingering, or very similar fingering. In this lesson we are going to talk about major scale fingerings and proper technique when playing scales on the piano. In the last lesson we explored the 12 major scales and how they relate to the circle of fifths. Welcome to this lesson on major scale fingerings and technique.
