    Hi, For a beginner who has never played the keyboard in my life, this diatonic scale video is way too fast especially as I am learning about fingerings for the first time. I hope the other videos are slower?

    Finger Numbering

    Before joining your course, I have been told the fingers on both hands carry the same numbers. eg. your thumb is both 1 on the left and right hands but it seems your pinky is what you have made 1 for the left hand. What is the right thing to do?

    Practicing diatonic scale on all keys

    Is there any concept behind key C having the same fingering pattern as key D,E,G and A?

    Hi sir, you spoke about "thumb under the finger", for a key like F#, how do we do that when the 4th is up above? Do we still take the thumb up there?

    Nightmare for a beginner

    This is too fast for a beginner to follow up with, a very good reason to give up if care is not taken

    Diatonic scale

    How is the diatonic scale formed? You played the scale in 5 different keys quite fast but I don’t seem to understand how they are formed
