Major scales

The picture charts below display all the 12 major scales, easy to understand and marked with the correct fingering.

If you play the same pattern again and again, you can play as many octaves as you like, up and down.

The finger numbers that are within a parenthesis (5), are used only when you begin, end or turn the scale.

Piano Scale Charts for all 12 major Scales.

For example in F major the left hand starts on a finger (4), but as you play the scale ascending several octaves you will use finger 1 on that note.

When you finish the scale you will use finger (4) again. It is also used when you can use an alternative finger.

12 major piano scale charts with fingering

There are 12 different major scales. (b=flat/ #=sharp).

3 of the scales (Db/E#, F#/Gb and B/Cb) actually have two names (so you could brag and say that you have learned 15 instead of 12)!

The scales that have two names, look and are played exactly the same on the keyboard, but are written differently with notes.

They are called Enharmonic (same sounded).
