03 Your left hand
Find the F that is situated two octaves below the F used as your starting note for
the right hand. With finger 5 of your left hand, begin the scale moving through
the notes G (4) and A (3).
04 Finish the ascent, and then descend
Play Bb with finger 2, then play C (1). Finish the ascent by bringing finger 3
over your thumb to play D followed by E ( 2 ) and F (1). Descend using the same
pattern in reverse, tucking your thumb under finger 3.
01 Ascending from the starting position
Place your thumb (1) on the F key located four keys above Middle C. Follow on
with the notes G ( 2 ) and A (3), then use finger 4 to play Bb. Finally, tuck your
thumb underneath to play C and finish with the notes D ( 2 ), E (3) and F (4).
02 Descending
Your small finger gets a break in F major as the pattern does not require finger
- To descend, simply follow the pattern outlined in Step 1 in the reverse order,
bringing finger 4 over the thumb to play the Bb.
