Major Scale Fingering Chart

March 13th, 2009

Hi piano players! Here’s a major scale fingering chart. Get your metronome and get busy. Start slowly and gradually increase your speed. Focus on keeping your dynamics even, making sure that you don’t accidentally emphasize the notes that happen after you cross your fingers. Alternate playing staccato and legato and then forte and piano.
Major Scales

We’ve listed the scales in order from easiest to hardest so start at the beginning and work your way down. Happy practicing.

Click here to get yours.

Coming soon: minor scales and more.
