What's on the chart
Finger numbers
1 is the thumb and 5 the little finger, the same on both hands, with right-hand numbers above the keys and left-hand numbers below.
All 12 major scales
C, G, D, A, E and B on page 1; F sharp, D flat, A flat, E flat, B flat and F on page 2. One octave each, going up.
A practice log
A small weekly table for the scale, the hands, the metronome tempo and a tick for each day you practiced.
How to use it
Start with C major, one hand at a time, and say the finger numbers out loud as you play. Keep the thumb tuck in every scale, and use a metronome at 60 BPM until every note is even. The full piano fingering chart guide explains each scale, the chords in C major and the arpeggio fingerings.
Teachers are welcome to print copies for students, put the PDF in a lesson folder, or link to this page from a studio website.
