All 12 major scales

[admin]

I don't know if I posted this or if there is a another link with this, but here it is anyways:

The formula for a major scale is: _WS_ WS_ HS_ WS_ WS_ WS_ HS_

HS = half step; from one key to the very next key going forwards or backwards, regardless of color

WS = whole step; from one key to the next key with one key in between going forwards or backwards, regardless of color.

First, start on any note, then follow the formula of whole and half steps.

Your fingers are numbered like this (same for both hands):

Thumb = 1
Index = 2
Middle = 3
Ring = 4
Pinky = 5

Now that u know all that, here are all your major scales w/fingering. I suggest u write them out yourself at least one time to get more familiar with them and so u can put them in order:

C maj. scale (no # or b): C D E F G A B C
D maj. scale (2#): D E F# G A B C# D
E maj. scale (4#): E F# G# A B C# D# E
G maj. scale (1#): G A B C D E F# G
A maj. scale (3#): A B C# D E F# G# A

If anyone needs help playing this, just let me know and I will explain in details.
How do u play a scale? Well, for any scale when you are going up the keyboard, you tuck your finger under. When you are going down the keyboard, you cross your finger over. Here is a detailed explanation of how to play the C major scale:

Numbers correspond to fingers:

thumb = 1
index = 2
middle = 3
ring = 4
pinky = 5

RH: 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 5
LH: 5 4 3 2 1 3 2 1 4 3 2 1 3 2 1 (RH in reverse)

RH forward: (1)thumb, (2)index, (3)middle, tuck (1)thumb, (2)index, (3)middle, (4)ring, tuck (1)thumb, (2)index, (3)middle, tuck (1)thumb, (2)index, (3)middle, (4)ring, (5)pinky

RH backward: (5)pinky, (4)ring, (3)middle, (2)index, (1)thumb, cross (3)middle, (2)index, (1)thumb, cross (4)ring, (3)middle, (2)index, (1)thumb, cross (3)middle, (2) index, (1) thumb

LH forward: (5)pinky, (4)ring, (3)middle, (2)index, (1)thumb, cross (3)middle, (2)index, (1)thumb, cross (4)ring, (3)middle, (2)index, (1)thumb, cross (3)middle, (2) index, (1) thumb

LH backward: (1)thumb, (2)index, (3)middle, tuck (1)thumb, (2)index, (3)middle, (4)ring, tuck (1)thumb, (2)index, (3)middle, tuck (1)thumb, (2)index, (3)middle, (4)ring, (5)pinky

*As you play this scale, make sure to keep your arms straight and your fingers curved. Use the same technique that use to type on a computer keyboard.

Try to use this information to figure out how to play the other scales. If you still having trouble, just let me know.
