About the scale and fingering

Play notes under 8va one octave higher than written.

Four sixteenth notes per beat (♩). Fingering: 1 = thumb, 5 = little finger. Arrows indicate finger substitutions.

These fingerings are practice examples generated by this tool. Adapt them to your hands and your teacher’s guidance.

Start slowly with one hand. Check the finger numbers, then try both hands and repeat at a comfortable tempo.

The example uses a synthesized piano sound. Play along on your own piano.
