Scales with alternating hands. How to move hands?

on: April 14, 2014, 06:57:07 PM

Hallo guys,

Here i am with another question. How should i move my hands when playing a scale with alternating hands.
Here and example. So when you play this, how is it suposed to be done, left hand always under the right hand? Or right hand always under the left hand? Or alternating, once left under and then right under etc.?

And is there a difference when playing with one, two or three fingers? Please share your thoughts.
