Scale Fingering

Do you get your fingers mixed up when you play scales?

Here's a quick tip. Say the fingers to yourself in groups as you play, instead of one finger at a time.

For instance if you're playing the F Major scale, don't think:

1 on F

2 on G

3 on A

etc...

Instead think

Starting on F: 

1-2-3-4

1-2-3-4

or for C Major:

1-2-3

1-2-3-4

etc...

Thinking in groups of notes before playing is much easier than thinking one finger and note at a time.

Try it!
