C Major scale
Notes: C – D – E – F – G – A – B · Formula: W–W–H–W–W–W–H
Fingering: Right hand ascending: 1–2–3–1–2–3–4–5. Left hand ascending: 5–4–3–2–1–3–2–1.
Practise hands separately first, one octave up and down, then hands together. Two octaves: repeat the pattern from the top note.
How it works: Piano scales are played with the thumb-under technique: the thumb passes under the hand after finger 3 (right hand ascending) so the scale keeps going without a jump.
