When I first began learning how to play the piano, it was a little tough to remember where to put my fingers for the notes A to G. But soon, I found a way to make it easier. Here’s what I did:

Understanding Finger Positions

1. Thumb on C: Always start with your thumb (1) on the note C. This is your starting point on the keyboard.
2. Finger Numbers: We use numbers for our fingers like this:
   • 1 = Thumb
   • 2 = Index (the finger next to your thumb)
   • 3 = Middle
   • 4 = Ring
   • 5 = Pinky

Matching Fingers to Notes

• C (1): Your thumb plays C.
• D (2): The index finger plays D, right next to C.
• E (3): The middle finger plays E, which is next to D.
• F (4): Use your ring finger for F.
• G (5): The pinky finger plays G. Your hand will look nice and organized.

Practice Patterns

• 5-Note Scale: Play C-D-E-F-G with the correct fingers. This helps your fingers remember where to go.
• Go Backwards: Try going from G back to C using the same fingers.

Visualization Tip

Think of the keyboard like a map! Every time you practice, imagine your fingers landing on the notes.

Extra Tip

Take your time. Practicing slowly and saying the notes out loud can really help you remember. Trust me, after a while, it’ll feel like your fingers just know where to go whenever you think of a note. Happy playing!
