Piano Scale Fingerings Guide

This document provides fingerings for major scales on the piano. It lists the finger numbers for the right and left hands for each key. Some scales require crossing over fingers when changing octaves to keep the fingering consistent. For example, in the C major scale the right hand ends on finger 5 but crosses to finger 1 to continue into the next octave. The fingerings are designed to make shifting between related scales easier.
