Hey guys,

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.
