With 10 fingers and 88 keys on the piano, how can I know which to use when?

“Which finger should I use on such and such a passage in this piano piece?”
Questions like that are asked all the time, and understandably so, since it can be kind of confusing to know which of your 10 fingers you should use on any of the 88 keys on the piano. While each situation is unique, there are a few principles that can guide you to
fingering that will get you where you want to go. Please watch this short video:

About Duane

Duane Shinn (that would be me) has good news for you if you want to play the piano. He (me) has little fat hands & stubby little fingers - not at all suited for playing the piano - more suited to making mud pies or some such. I am also fairly uncoordinated with just average musical ability - certainly not a great piano player. But I've learned a ton about music over the years and people tell me I'm pretty decent at explaining how music works & how to progress more rapidly on the piano. Over the years I have developed about 150 techniques for conquering the piano. Most professional pianists can do these techniques, but very few can explain them in a way people can understand. I specialize in making complex techniques simple. I invite you to watch a few of my free videos and see some of these for yourself before making any decision about taking any of my courses.
