This A5 size book covers the piano fingering for major and harmonic minor scales in 2 octave form as well as the arpeggios. It represents the scale and arpeggio patterns in a visual format, showing the fingering for pianists upon the keys that form the scale. Scales are presented in the order of Circle of 5ths, however an alphabetic index is also included at the rear of the book.
Note that the finger numbers on the diagrams do not represent the position on the key where the finger should press; the student should use the key depth and move in and out of the black key area as needed for their hands.
Arpeggios have been represented with 3rd finger and 4th finger choices. In recent times many pedagogues and expert pianists have recognized that a player’s hands are unique to the individual and are incompatible with rigid 4th and 3rd rules. The player should determine for themselves which fingering gives their hand the most balance and control in the arpeggios.
