Alternate Fingering to F# Minor Scales

[klick]

I'm trying to get to my  level 5 exam and I am just starting to learn the F# Minor scale and I am starting to find that the right hand fingering is very awkward. I am very curious if there is an alternate fingering pattern for the melodic and harmonic forms of the scale.

For my Harmonic I use the following :  3   4   1 2  3  1  2   3   4   1  2 3   1  2  3
                                                            (f# g# a b c# d e# f# g# a  b c# d e# f#)

And for the Melodic:
2   3   1 2  3   4    1   2   3  1 2  3  4    1     3  2 1 3  2 1   4   3 2 1  3 2 1 4 3
f# g# a b c# d# e# f# g# a b c# d# e#  f# e d  b a g# f# e d c# b a g# f#

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's it.

This is the best fingering.

What seems to be the problem?

That's exactly how I learned it as well.. It feels very natural to me.

I'm learning the 3 f# minor scales right now too and have discussed the fingering for them with my teacher. I'm learning them just the way you wrote.

However, in the "12 Major & Minor Scales" section of the Hanon book, it says to start the Harmonic right hand with  2 3. I prefer the 3 4. For the melodic, you must start with 2 3.

Ok then i guess i will just have to try and get used tofingerig. I guess over time it will seem more natural to me but right now all the crossing over and having a 3 on the last note is kind of hard to get used to when playing it hands together.

Thanks for the Help.
