Fingerings are about which fingers you should use and consequently the position
of the hand when playing piano. There are rules and instructions for fingerings
in general and depending on the situation.
When exercising on scales it is important that you use the right fingerings. Doi
ng this in the right way gives a foundation for a development of good technique.
Sometimes you will see instructions that tell you which fingers to use by the n

Some general tips about how to position your hand and use your fingers
The way you move your hands and which fingers you use will affect the outcome of
your piano playing. If you, for example, are using few fingers with high freque
ncies, it will result in disjointed transitions when smooth transitions are requ
ired. Here are some rules of thumb:
First the most obvious: don't use your index finger exclusively.
Include all the fingers, this makes the movement of the hand more smooth and eco
nomical.
In most situations, you should avoid playing on the black keys with your thumb.
Learn to play piano without looking down on the keyboard
Most people who study the piano will sooner or later learn how to read notes. Th
e challenge of reading notes are often overestimated
the real challenge is to re
ad and play simultaneously. The only way to read and play at the same time is to
not look at the keyboard. The more notes on the score, the less time for you to
look down at the keyboard without losing the accurate tempo.

The right practice

In the picture below, you can see the notes of the C major scale. Above the note
s there is also numbers.
notes of the C scaleThe first sequence is 1-2-3-1-2-3-4-5 and it involves a move
ment with the thumb going under the index and middle finger. After you reach the
next octave you turn around and this time it is the other way around: you move
your middle and index finger over the thumb (5-4-3-2-1-3-2-1).
The secret as you can see is to move the thumb under the fingers (index and midd
le) and lift the same fingers over the thumb. By this method you can reach eight
notes (one octave) on the keyboards by minimum movement of the hand.

For the most common scales you can find fingerings written out together with sca
le pictures on this site. In cases the fingerings are not written it should not
be a huge problem for you. If you minimize the contact with the thumb and the bl
ack keys you will in most cases naturally find the right fingerings.
