About this tool
This page opens the fingering chart with A Major already selected — this page shows the standard fingering for both hands on the keyboard diagram. The notes of the scale: A, B, C♯, D, E, F♯, G♯.
The major scale is the reference point of Western music: bright, stable, and the pattern every other scale is compared against. Learning its fingering early pays off in every key.

Example. C major in the right hand for one octave shows the finger numbers 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 5. The default two-octave right hand continues 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 5.
Limit. Fingerings are the stored one-octave charts for major and the three minor forms, not a custom editorial fingering you type in. The octave control is only 1 or 2.
