Finger Charts

Feel Free to download any of these charts. I have found some of them to be very helpful for beginners.

Fingering is Fundamental: and Practicing the Classical Major Scales is what will help you get better.

• • Increases Dexterity and Scale Spreed,

  • Your fingers build "Muscle Memory" and quickly start to remember the black keys to play

  • and your brain automatically starts to 'remembers' when to make a hand change positions.

  • all you have to do is practice your scales each time before your regular practice sessions as warm-up

  • with in no time, depending on how much you practice, you will be playing each scale easily without even thinking!

Each scale starts the the scale's name letter as the first note, then plays 8 full steps (Octave) up or down,

always ends on the same note name as started on.

You can fill in each note name on this chart, and say each note name out loud when played.

Roger + = Right Hand, Clockwise around the Circle of Fifths

Roger - = Right Hand, Counter-Clockwise around the Circle of Fifths

Louie + = Left Hand, Clockwise around the Circle of Fifths

Louie- = Left Hand, Counter-Clockwise around the Circle of Fifths

If you like these Charts and find them useful, please leave me some encouraging comments. Thanks

Muscle memory has been used synonymously with motor learning, which is a form of procedural memory that involves consolidating a specific motor task into memory through repetition. When a movement is repeated over time, a long-term muscle memory is created for that task, eventually allowing it to be performed without conscious effort. This process decreases the need for attention and creates maximum efficiency within the motor and memory systems. Examples of muscle memory are found in many everyday activities that become automatic and improve with practice, such as riding a bicycle, typing on a keyboard, typing in a PIN, playing a melody or phrase on a musical instrument, playing video games,^[1] or performing different algorithms for a Rubik's Cube.

Physiology and Motor behavior

When first learning a motor task, movement is often slow, stiff and easily disrupted without attention. With practice, execution of motor task becomes smoother,

there is a decrease in limb stiffness, and muscle activity necessary to the task is performed without conscious effort.^[7]
