[musictlk] piano fingering chart

[Julie C. Vogt]

I can give you some pointers, but it would take me some time to get 
something scale by scale, major and minor.

Here are some important points:

1.  When you're playing a sharp or flat scale, your fingering for the last 
key should be the same as for the beginning for the most part so you can go 
on for another octave if you need to.

2.  On the G,C, and scales like thetas you hit with your left hand your 
thumb on the octave above it, tuck your further finger in to hit the second 
key above the octave.  If it's the right hand and your fifth finger is about 
to hit the octave key above where you started, tuck your thumb under your 
forth finger and hit the octave thumb with it.

3.  When you're doing sharp or flat scales, your thumb should never end the 
scale on a black note.  I can send right fingering
for all the scales, but I'm sure you're pressed for time and I am today, 
too.  If you need me to, write me off-list and I'll take some time tomorrow 
and do that for you.
