C Melodic minor — Piano Scale Fingering Chart
See the standard fingering for any major or minor piano scale on an interactive keyboard — right hand, left hand, one or two octaves, with thumb-under crossings marked.
C — Melodic minor
Right hand
↷ — thumb passes under
Left hand

Descending uses the same fingers in reverse order. Melodic minor descends in its natural-minor form.
About this tool
This page opens the fingering chart with C Melodic minor already selected — this page shows the standard fingering for both hands on the keyboard diagram. The notes of the scale: C, D, E♭, F, G, A, B.
The melodic minor raises the sixth and seventh on the way up and traditionally reverts on the way down — the smoothest minor for melodic lines and a jazz staple.

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.
