These the fingering a piano teacher wrote on my sheet. What do you guys think, is it ok to start with it?

Any comment/suggestion is most welcome.

Depending on the speed, it doesn't look like the fingering I'd use, but you need to try it out for yourself.  Any fingering that works (at speed and with control) is a good fingering.

I don't understand why repeated fingers on the same note are OK in the right but not in the left.

Seems fine. Are you preparing to play Bach?

Thanks for your reply. Exactly, i dont understand that neither. Why is that? Can anybody enlighten me? Otherwise i have to doubt the expertise of my teacher.






@ chopin2015

Thank you for your reply. No, i cant play Bach pieces yet, because of the hand independence difficulty. Maybe i will play some bach in the future. But now i do this stuff to develop good fingering for the kind of improvisations i do.

Women and the Chopin Competition: Breaking Barriers in Classical Music

The piano, a sleek monument of polished wood and ivory keys, holds a curious, often paradoxical, position in music history, especially for women. While offering a crucial outlet for female expression in societies where opportunities were often limited, it also became a stage for complex gender dynamics, sometimes subtle, sometimes stark. From drawing-room whispers in the 19th century to the thunderous applause of today’s concert halls, the story of women and the piano is a narrative woven with threads of remarkable progress and stubbornly persistent challenges.
