Middle C Position

Did you do it right? Look at the piano on this page and see if you have your fingers resting on the correct keys. If your fingers are in the correct position, congratulations!

The position you are in is called Middle C position.

Now, one at a time, play each key once. Do not move your hand and do not move your fingers. You should play Middle C with your thumb,

then the next key with your #2 finger,

then the next key with #3 finger,

the next key with #4 finger,

then the last key with #5 finger.

If you did it right, with the correct fingers, then go ahead and play it over and over and over again. (Only use your right hand!) Get really comfortable with it. Play it fast, play it slow, play it backwards, and play it out of order. ALWAYS play each key with the finger that is assigned to it! .

Practice Suggestion:

With your right hand in Middle C position, play the following patterns..

Play C (thumb) when you see the letter C, play key 2 with #2 finger when you see the number 2...etc...


C 2 3 4 5 5 5 5
5 4 3 2 C C C C

C 2 3 2 5 3 2 C
5 4 2 3 C C C C


You can write your own patterns and play them. When you are really comfortable with playing patterns smoothly with your right hand and you are always using the correct fingers, then you may go on to the next page.
